Ex Wife - Ring Finger

This is a story of love and longing
I heard it from a bloke at work
This is what he told me...

Measureless, you stand before me
With tenderness, you don't ignore me
Pale grey eyes and hair of cinder
Slender waist and long, thick fingers

Ring Finger, I need a symbol
Wedding gloves, diamonds and crystals
True love, nearly wed
but not yet together

The moment came to share my ring
All of me, the perfect thing
You tried it on, it wouldn't fit
Said you'd wear it round your neck
'We are still one, do you mind?'
'No, of course not, no', I lied

Ring Finger, I need a symbol
Wedding gloves, diamonds and crystals
True love, newly wed
but not yet together

Do you want me?
Do you need me?
All I want
All I need
Is for you to comfort me
When will we be one?

Ring finger, ring ring finger
Ring finger, ring ring finger

I tried not to mind, dropped every hint
Bought special creams, tried everything
Just for variety, in the name of health
Personal hygiene or personal wealth

Ring Finger, I need a symbol
Wedding gloves, diamonds and crystals
True love, long time wed
But not yet together

Twenty years on, I'm still alone
You say you love me; how do I know?
Are we together? Am I The One?
Is this for love or just for fun?
