Wilder Shores of Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Think about it when you're out on the street
Think about it when you've nothing to eat
How could you fall so low from so high above.
Think about it when you're on your own
Think about it when you're leaving home
You didn't see it coming, the velvet glove.
Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.
Think about it from the other side
Realise you've got nothing to hide
There's no one left alive to give you away.
Night moves in mystery,
What else do you want to be ?
Did no one ever show you the way ?
Just found out on the wilder shores of love
Just found out what you did before
On the wilder shores of love.
Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out what you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.
Ican feel your dangerous love around me.
Do I want to go in there again ?
When all I wanted was for you to drown me
And love was there to make me go insane.
I remember all the lies you told me,
Shut my eyes and always you appear.
I can't forget the way you used to haunt me,
I can't forget the love that wasn't there.
Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.
So far out on the wilder shores of love
So far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love.
