"This Game Of Love" lyrics
"This Game Of Love"
Don't let me burn like this
Save me from the fire
I know the art of loneliness
I see straight down the wire
I see straight down the wire
See straight down the wire
Free my soul of emptiness
I know the taste of sorrow
Tonight I am delirious
I live to play tomorrow
Live to play tomorrow
Live to play tomorrow
I live to play tomorrow
I came in to this town
No comfort or peace of mind
Just as the rain came down
I swear I don't wanna lose this time
Gonna take my rightful place
In the sun high heaven above
Or there'll be hell to pay
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
Now I lay me down to rest
Cold ground up against my back
Time and again I failed a test
As painful as a heart attack
As painful as a heart attack
As painful as a heart attack
As painful as a heart attack
Don't make me burn like this
I know the art of loneliness
Free my soul of emptiness
Pull me from the fire
I stepped down off the train
Not looking to do no harm
Just book a room someplace
And hold devotion and warmth in between my arms
Devotion and warmth
Devotion and warmth
Devotion and warmth in between my arms
But the to and the fro
The wrath and the sloth
The back and the forth took my world apart
Lord I'll take my place
In the sun high heaven above
Or there'll be hell to pay
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
Am I gonna, gonna lose
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
Am I gonna lose
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
Am I gonna, gonna lose
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
Am I gonna lose
Am I gonna lose this game of love?

Elvis Costello - "No Flag" I got no religion, I got no philosophy
Got a head full of ideas and words that don't seem to belong to me
You may be jokin' but I don't get the gag
I sense no future but time seems to drag
No time...
Kevin Morby - "Brother, Sister" Set out on a pale night
My sister at my side
The moon like a clock up in the sky
It goes bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bu, duh, bum, bum, bum
Oh brother, where we going?
Oh sister, like you don't know
Oh...
Jonathan Wilson - "Just For Love" Just for love
Like the wings
Of some high flying bird
Of the songs
I will sing to you
You can hear every word
That I ever heard, come to you
Of the people I've been
Of the visions I have seen
And of...
Jeff Tweedy - "Half-Asleep" Half asleep
All your dreams
Come alive
You're all I need
Come to me
Close your eyes
There's no other
There's no one
No one
But you
Half of me
Still believes
We never die
Won't you lay
Next to me...
Smashing Pumpkins - "Birch Grove" I forsee a time without me
So not unlike the trees
I've stood for so long
So long
Shading life inside the falling rain
All alone, in love with age and someone
Someone else
Sundays come and Sundays...
