Emitt Rhodes - Only Lovers Decide Lyrics

Emitt Rhodes Lyrics

"Only Lovers Decide"

Brave young soldier of fortune
Fair young maiden in white
Sharing rose-colored glasses
Counting stars in the night

Blessed union of spirit
Silver threads intertwine
Fabric so gently woven
Fashioned veil of sunshine

If you ask will true love abide
I'll reply some live, some die
Only lovers decide

The Earth turns in many ways
So some may sleep while some may wake

Treasured moments of sweetness
Far more precious than gold
Loving arms warm embraces
Shielding you from the cold

If you ask will true love abide
I reply some live, some die
Only lovers decide
