I'm Someone Who Loves You

What if your father has a stroke when you are ten
Then sits like a ragdoll wheelchair in the den
You start failing school, breaking every rule
Pretty soon you're a bum
Then one day you meet a girl at first sight
Both stand speechless in the hall through the night
Whatever happened to her?
There are traces of what she were
She wanted to be a nun
Both of you begin to cautiously whisper words
You sit together chirping, little tiny lovebirds
Who knows what you said?
If only you could touch her in bed
She certainly is the one
Time passes by and you ruin it
Before your eyes you are losing it
How can you get what you need from her?
Now you've become just a weed to her
I'm someone who loves you
I'm someone who loves you
That was years ago, now the New Mexico hymn
You sometimes describe to her heavy telephone bill
She lives way back east
Says "Can't you keep in touch at least?"
But you don't call her up
Deep in the heart of the life you live
Tenderly you treasure every kiss that you give
Don't think about her much
You kicked away that crutch
So you could walk alone
By now you know you can't ruin it
It's just that one day you stop doing it
I'm someone who loves you
I'm someone who loves you
