Make It Up To You

Walking over ground we have shared
On this windy winter night
City fills my ears and everywhere
Is a movie in this light
Suddenly it's you, 20 years ago,
At that dirty school bus glass
Your quiet tears they fall all in a row
While my eyes fall hard on my lap

And I love you though I never say I do
Someday I will find a way to make it up to you

Your eyes searched the world outside that glass
For a hiding place
And I too afraid of their wrath
To look you in the face
Their stupid arrows flew straight at your hair,
Every chestnut curl
And at the shyness that you held in your stare -
You were not other girls

And I love you thought I never say I do
Someday I will find a way to make it up to you

But I have never been much good
At sticking up for you
I guess you're the Robin Hood
And I'm the merry fool

And I love you though I never say I do
Someday I will find a way to make it up to you
