Quicksand Lyrics


Your sweet love is like a quicksand
Pullin' me under and I wonder
How deep does it goOh, the sky is closin' up above me
Every time you touch me
I'm like a tiger now, prowlin' in the moonlightSometimes love takes a funny turn around
You can make a paradise out of flat champagne
But once the party's started
Tell me who can complainFor love will find you
Find you walkin' on the shore
Inside the wind, it calls out to you
A longing melody to end your lonely hoursTo stay in love with love
To live in love with love, with youI'm tellin' you love is like a quicksand
Pullin' me under and I wonder
How deep does it goOh, you know the sky is closin' up above me
Every time you touch me
I'm like a tiger now, prowlin' in the moonlightStrangers in the street could be lovers if they met along
But that's not the way this whole world is made upon
My only prayer is some day to see it burn with loveOh it'll find you

Find you walkin' on the shore
Inside the wind it calls out to you
A longing melody to end your lonely hoursTo stay in love with love
To live in love with love, with youOh, quicksand, oh, quicksand
I tell you quicksand lonely, pullin' me under
Quicksand, pullin' me under

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose. Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor.
