Brian Eno
Yes
[Verse 1]
When it started, we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line, my back's on the ropes
When it started, we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in the daylight

[Verse 2]
There we were dying of frustration
Sayin', "Lord, lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone

[Chorus]
If you'd only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God only, God knows I'm tryin' my best
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

[Interlude]
Hey!

[Verse 3]
So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop, then they let go
Dizzily screamin', "Let the windows down!"
As I crawl to the ground
[Chorus]
If you'd only, if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God only, God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness
