Answer Me My Love
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Just what sin have i been guilty of?
Tell me how i came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where i've gone astray?
Please answer me, my love
If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know i've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now i turn to you
Please answer me, my love
instrumental interlude
(if you're happier without me)
(i'll try not to care)
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know (you must know)i've been true (i've been true)
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now i turn to you
Please answer me, my love
Answer me, my love
