You thank me all the time

But now it’s my turn

Cause truly a word of gratitude so due

Can’t go unheard

And it made me feel better

To have you there in my corner

My eyes cast so low

My face could not have been

Drawn longer



I know you’ve been impressed

You’ve seen me at my best

But oh, how it hurts

When I can’t hide my worst

Well thank-you for carrying on

For playing with me and this song

It made me feel better

We sat it out like some passing bad weather



My mind was like kid’s boxing gloves

The kind blown up with air

That are put away after play

And get limp just lying there

But you knew they’d fill up again

And you gave me your shoulder

And I got up in the ring

Because I had you there

In my corner

And I got up in the ring

Because I had you there

In my corner
