The War In the Gulf Between Us (LP Version) Lyrics

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 usSomething 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 usAnd 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 usSomething 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 usWhat 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 timeNow, 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
