Call It a Loan — текст песни (Jackson Browne)

In the morning when I closed my eyes

You were sleeping in paradise

And while the room was growing light

I was holding still with all my might



Oh--what if its true

...what my heart says

Oh--whatll I do

What if this feeling becomes hard to part with



You were meant to play your part

In the design of a desperate heart

And while you gave your love to me

I was betting I was getting it free



Oh-- if Id only known

...what your heart cost

Oh-- can we call it a loan

And a debt that I owe

On a bet that I lost



In the evening when you see my eyes

Looking back at you, no disguise

Im not sure who you think youll see

Im just hoping youll still know that its me



Oh-- what if its true

...better ask the man inside

Oh, oh-- there seem to be two

One steals the love, and the other one hides.



Yeah-- can we call it a loan

Till Im paid in full for the seeds Ive sown

Yeah-- can we say that Ive grown

In someway that we may have yet to be shown



Oh-- if Id only known

...what your heart cost

Oh-- can we call it a loan

And a debt that I owe

On a bet that I lost
