I Wear Your Ring - Cocteau Twins & Harold Budd

The weight on my finger The faint slip of silver The feeling you're never far gone Did it feel authentic? Did you feel you meant it when you said our loving was wrong? I wrote you a letter, I said I was better I said I would never know why You left like a bandit It's not like we planned it But I'll leave the light on for a while And I'll leave the linen the way they've been slept in The sheets on the bed in a pile And I'll wear your ring on the right hand for a while And I'll wear your ring on the right hand for a while Did I breathe too deep in when I held you sleeping? Did you dream you're leaving for long? I'll hang up tomorrow And beg, steal and borrow I'm breathing, you're leaving and you're gone I put on my denim and put on a gingham In classic American style And I'll wear your ring on the right hand for a while And I'll wear your ring on the right hand for a while I'm dressed for the morning And just for a moment I've almost forgotten you're gone Then I remember I have 'til September Summer, the daylight's so long I'll put on a kettle of whistling metal And spill just a little on the tile And I'll wear your ring on the right hand for a while And I'll wear your ring on the right hand for a while

Won't you wear my ring around your neck? To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them see your love for me And let them see by the ring around your neck Won't you wear my ring around your neck? To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them know I love you so And let them know by the ring around your neck Well they say that goin' steady is not the proper thing They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring I only know that I love you and that you love me too So, darling, please do what I ask of you Won't you wear my ring around your neck To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them see your love for me And let them see by the ring around your neck Well they say that goin' steady is not the proper thing They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring I only know that I love you and that you love me too So, darling, this is what I, I beg of you Won't you wear my ring around your neck To tell the world I'm yours, by heck Let them know I love you so And let them know by the ring around your neck And let them know by the ring around your neck And let them know by the ring around your neck Oh yeah!

Said you wanna stand there With your arms around me But I can't feel you It's kinda like a dream And then you walk out with another Lord, my jaw hits the floor It's kinda like a dream Said little angel with the bottle I don't love you anymore Yeah, I spent some time out with the devil Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore Yeah, I waste my time and I waste my money On a broken dream 'cause you wouldn't wear my ring Baby, give me back my ring One day you'll look back, baby, when you're all alone Just wonderin' to yourself, "Just where in the hell did I have gone?" And I'll be down the road like a thousand times before And you'll be sittin' home with your jaw on the floor Said little angel with the bottle I don't love you anymore Yeah, I've spent some time out with the devil Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore Yeah, I waste my time and I waste my money On a broken dream, 'cause you wouldn't wear my ring Baby, give me back my ring Said little angel with the bottle I don't love you anymore Yeah, I spent some time out with the devil Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore Said little angel with the bottle I don't love you anymore Yeah, I spent some time out with the devil Oh, but you don't hurt me anymore
