This Pride Of Mine

Is it my absurd pride, Which countenanced you to take off and run? Is it my rainbow pride, Which made you flee to the searing sun? I beg of you Stop! Think twice A little pride is better than nice. That is a saying plausibly far from wise! If your love could fall once more out of the sky This pride of mine I throw out amply to the sea I tell no lie and I speak no lies This pride of mine, I’ll give to another for free For years and years I have chewed over on my pride Crying out inside beclouded tears Our love went down with a dingy backslide But! But! This pride of mine was too blind to see Sometimes it draws out the beauty in me Sometimes it sheds out the ugly in me Like leaves falling off once a blossoming tree This pride of mine Needs to resign This pride of mine Isn’t sweeter than wine But! But! If your love could fall once more out of the sky This pride of mine I throw out amply to the sea I promise to be humble, humble and humble For upon your type of love I may never stumble!
