All I believe and all that I know
I did it all for you
An oil painting hangs above a kitchen sink
You painted it for yourself
The books and farm, the dogs and the years
We spent underground
Now and again I recollect my thoughts,
I think of you again
It's me all alone against an idiot
And I don't want to be
Left out in the cold
Waiting there for you
A reserve on a hill with one shelf left bare
I did it all for you
I should've stuck it out, I should've stuck by you
Instead of giving in
Stephen, you're so young
Perhaps you'll understand
I write about her because its who I am
Who I've become
Stephen, you'll grow old
Perhaps you'll understand
