The War in the Gulf Between Us - Adrian Belew

It started long ago, you have to understand

We thought we’d make a life, we thought we had a plan

We built it like a house and filled it up with kids

The only trouble is

I won’t be back again

Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind

And nothing I can do will bring it back again

Nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us

Something in my heart no longer could survive

Those battles in the day, the quiet in the night

I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us

And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods

I tip-toed all around you;

you danced around me too

And somewhere in between we found the time for love

The only trouble is

It never was enough

Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind

And nothing I can do will bring it back again

Nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us

Something in my heart no longer could survive

Those battles in the day, the quiet in the night

I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us

What was the sense in keeping alive

Something that never made us satisfied

Sometimes it’s better to get on with your life

I don’t believe in hurting each other all the time

Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains

And after all the nights have swallowed up the pain

Then maybe we will meet, we’ll find a neutral place

The only trouble is

What will we have to say?

Well something in our hearts will have to try and give

And something in our hearts will have to learn to live

Together and apart without another war between us
