SET APART Lyrics by Samuel Ferrer

(Verse I)
Dear old friend
Our school days
Long since past
Let ‘em fade.
We speak kind
But if I may:
All this time
We’ve behaved.

(Verse II)
You set aside
The rub of days.
You hold false tongues
And silence their brays.
You’re set apart,
The truth all these years:
No one can match
The standard you’ve made.

(Chorus)
You’ve seen my heart bleed:
Imagine how I’d feel
If you were to marry.
Don’t ask me to meet another lover with my name.
Stop and read my eyes:
Imagine how I’d feel
If you were to marry.
Time to rub your eyes
And reach for what’s so near to you.

(Verse III)
So stroke my hair
but not like before.
Reach behind
and close the door.
Use those lips
to close my eyes.
Take me now
Here I lie.

(Chorus)
