Loving you

Loving you
Taken from the album 'The sentence that I serve'. Click on the iTunes/CDBaby/Payplay links on the right for more details. Thank you. This is an acoustic number, about how love can be painful and yet ultimately inspiring. It was written and recorded in 2 days in June 2005. Lyrics: (Al Stravinsky) Verse 1 There's a cliff where I live That I sometimes go and sit upon. Let my feet dangle over the edge, And I can stare into oblivion 'Cos loving you leaves me so cold - Don't come to find me, it just reminds me, there's another road. Verse 2 There's a bridge in the sky Where I can be alone and simply wonder why. Let my tears fall like rain 'Til it is black and white, to end a life or live again. 'Cos loving you can feel so bad That I can't remember a single good day we ever had. And loving you leaves me so weak I don't even have the strength to turn the other cheek. Chorus But loving you can be so wonderful, I feel a better man and I could live forever. And loving you can make me feel so strong, I know that nothing else, and no-one else can make it wrong. Verse 3 There's a street in my dreams That ends in a red-brick wall where I can scrawl what it all means. I chalk the answer on this cul-de-sac: You might find that sometimes the only way is back. 'Cos loving you leaves me so cold Sometimes I'm certain I'm not gonna grow old. And loving you can make me see myself, As a twisted reflection beyond all help. Chorus But loving you can be so wonderful, I feel a better man and I could live forever. And loving you can make me feel so strong, I know that nothing else, and no-one else can make it wrong. Loving you, loving you, loving you...

Nope... I'm saying you are the cool water that slays her. And pitter patter... well that's the beat of my heart.
