through a smoke filled glass on a desperate night when the sole of my shoe lets in rain when the heart s tired of running and the milk s gone sour will your feelings still be the same when the match won t light so the flames don t tremble and the years are condemning us too i ll need a soulmate to hold me and a friend for life and i m hoping it might be you when i think of life as a chance not taken as a compromise tinged with regret when the kids leave for breeding and the tv s king will you tell me we re not done yet will you think of me as a distant island or will you come with me to the moon i ll need a soulmate to hold me and a friend for life and i m hoping it might be you give me asylum and i ll keep the faith keep me in coffee and so safe and i ll feed your cats and i ll paint walls and i ll be your one night stand will you come with me in the certain knowledge that the catch is there s no catch at all i ll need a soulmate to hold me and a friend for life and i m hoping it might be you yes i m certain it must be you
