Lover, Be Careful

(text & musik: Mauro Scocco, engelsk översättning Eric Bibb)

I wonder who you might be
where you might be from
Are you a guardian angel
or are you a prodigal son
I don’t know what you’ve been
through in your life
I don’t knwo what you
want with me
But listen now
Listen to me carefully

Before I dive too deep down
before I go too far to turn around
Lover, be careful
please, be tender
Love, be careful
’Cause you know it’s my heart
you’re holding in your hands

Darling, tonight the moon is full
hanging in the sky like
a plate of pure gold
in through the window
shining softly on you and me

So, put out your cigarette
and let’s lay down
quiet all around us
No one hears a lover’s sound
In a little while
the sun will rise again

But will you be here when I wake up
when morning is breaking

Before I dive too deep down
before I go too far to turn around
Lover, be careful
please, be tender
Love, be careful
’Cause you know it’s my heart
you’re holding in your hands

I’ve been abondoned
more than a few times
My heart can’t stand another break
so, be certain
my heart’s at stake
Lover, be careful
please, be tender
Lover, be careful
’Cause you know it’s my heart
you’re holding in your hands
