Glorious Love - Alison Moyet

Somewhere in the shadows of your eyes

An element that takes me by surprise

Something wants to pull me to my feet

Willing me to go into retreat

But how can I get up and walk away

When ninety-nine percent decides to stay

And watch the other fade to grey

This glorious love will tear us down

When nothing is left to turn around

And giving it all is not enough

For this glorious love

This pleasure never ought to be denied

For this is joy personified

You can talk to me of give and take

When I could take of you for takings sake

But how can I deny what’s on my mind

Knowing it to be of my design

Relegated — I resign

This glorious love will tear us down

When nothing is left to turn around

And giving it all is not enough

For this glorious love
