Lyrics

Oh, I have seen
The words, "I love you,"
Wither on her tongue.
And I have seen
Her say, "Good bye,"
When the night was still too young.
I have seen
The light die in her eyes
When she shut her feelings down.
I have seen
Her spinning her cocoon
Without a sound.

Oh-woh. She gave up much too soon.
Oh-woh. 'Cause she's safe in her cocoon.

I have known
And loved her when
She was a naive girl.
But she has grown.
And perfected ways
To protect her from the world.
I'm alone when the warmth
Drops from her smile
And she turns her head
To make her feelings end.
She has shown that the soft cocoon
Is still her closest friend.

Oh-woh. Her feelings are immune.
Oh-woh. When she's safe in her cocoon.

She says that she needs love
Just to stay alive.
But the feelings overwhelm her
And the words of love
Just fail to arrive.

I have seen when her feelings
Start to make her swoon.
And I have seen her disappearing
Into her cocoon.

Oh-woh. It's like returning to the womb.
Oh-woh. When she's safe in her cocoon.

In her cocoon.
In her cocoon.
