Peter Godwin - Torch Songs For The Heroine текст песни

the love she feels exciting - is it a warning?
open arms open wide, then cast aside in the morning
I've got no defense - there is no reward
we're better off hurting than just being bored
sometimes a stranger surprises you
sweeps you away with something more noble than gold

a life of night - times wrapped in sheets - she is waiting
to be born once again, or be lost in a life hard and hating
you have what you want - you care for no-one
your crime is the passion of love on the run
sometimes it's strangely exciting
to be swept off your feet by the beat of your heart when you hear

torch songs for the heroine
torch songs for the heroine
your energy wasted in love, it's more sacred than sin...
