The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove

Dead Can Dance

I thought that you knew it all
Well, you've seen it ten times before
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the groundI love slow
Slow but deep
Feigned affections
Wash over meDream on my dear
And renounce temporal obligations
Dream on my dear
It's a sleep from which you may not awakenYou build me up, then you knock me down
You play the fool while I play the clown
We keep time to the beat
Of an old slave drumYou raise my hopes, then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time
In disillusionmentI don't believe you anymore
I don't believe you
I don't believe you anymore
I don't believe youI thought that I knew it all
I'd seen all the signs before
I thought that you were the one
In darkness my heart was wonYou build me up, then you knock me down
You play the fool while I play the clown
We keep time to the beat
Of an old slave drumYou raise my hopes, then you raise the odds
You tell me that I dream too much
Now I'm serving time
In a domestic graveyardI don't believe you anymore
I don't believe youNever let it be said, I was untrue
I never found a home inside of you
Never let it be said, I was untrue
I gave you all my time
I gave you all my time
