Past Perfect

Back then there were no others All I knew - true beginners
We had a gift - the perfect present No such a thing I'm taut
It's tense for me Can't live within a memory Proud woman I daren't come passively Every fella deserves his dignity
Our hurt is older than our hands It passed from monkey into man
Now tender hands do heal the hurt Man did fuck up And then he learnt
It's tense for me Can't live within a memory Proud woman I daren't come passively Every fella deserves his dignity
It's tense for me Can't keep reliving what is history Proud woman now don't go soft on me Where's that famous old dexterity?
It's tense for me
