What Are You Fighting For? - Tindersticks

It's four in the morning and I'm sitting here at night I'm writing you this song to say what's on my mind I'm leaving in an hour and you won't be up in time to say goodbye And whoa, I'm putting this on tape Baby, you're wonderful, I really mean it, babe More than you will ever know Wish that I could stay but I gotta go I'll be back but in the meantime keep in mind That you are something too big for words And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse 'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forget Girl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had You are the perfect love, never give you up Because you are my heart my soul my breath Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you are Now no man has ever loved his woman more than I love you Girl, you know it's true And no man can ever say he does a woman better than I do you That ain't true, here's what I do Send you fresh-cut roses every day of the week Take you shopping whenever, more importantly Wrap my loving arms around you To reassure everything I felt that first night I feel it more You are something too big for words And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse 'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forget Girl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had You are the perfect love, never give you up Because you are my heart my soul my breath Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you are Girl, you are something too big for words And it's my pleasure to love you for better or worse 'Cause what you are, a beautiful mother to your kids Sometimes this slips my mind so in case I forget Girl, you are, you are better than anything I ever had You are the perfect love, never give you up Because you are my heart, my soul, my breath Take it all until there's nothing left 'cause baby you are Girl, you are, you are, you are Girl, you are, you are

(Stuart; carla; both) There are places I don't remember There are times and days, they mean nothing to me I've been looking through some of them old pictures They don't serve to jog my memory I'm not waking in the morning, staring at the walls these days I'm not getting out the boxes, spread all over the floor I've been looking through some of them old pictures Those faces they mean nothing to me no more Chorus: I travel light You travel light Everything I've done You say you can justify, mmm you travel light I can't pick them out, I can't put them in these sad old bags Some things you have to lose along the way Times are hard, I'll only pick them out, wish I was going back Times are good, you'll be glad you ran away (Chorus) Do you remember, how much you loved me? You say you have no room in that thick old head Well it comes with the hurt and the guilt, and the memories If I had to take them with me I would never get from my bed There's a crack in the roof where the rain pours through That's the place you always decide to sit Yeah I know I'm there for hours, the water running down (my) (your)face Do you really think you keep it all that well hid? No but I travel light You don't travel light Everything I've done It's just a lie, you don't travel light I'm travelling light No you don't travel light I'm travelling light No, no, you don't travel light I'm travelling light You don't travel light
