Saint Etienne - Two Lovers Lyrics

Saint Etienne Lyrics

"Two Lovers"

And he knew he'd missed the call
But he had to hide the number
A litany of missed exchanges
For one reason or another

The dice were always loaded
Just not their way
Faith and trust eroded
Had to get away

We were two lovers
Forced into secrecy
We were two lovers
Whose future was fantasy
Two lovers
Forced into secrecy
We were two lovers
That couldn't happen

They were standing at the gates of dawn
With the waves crashing before them
These waves cost more than money
Those breaks, you can't ignore them

The dice were always loaded
Just not their way
Faith and trust eroded
Had to get away

We were two lovers
Forced into secrecy
We were two lovers
Whose future was fantasy
Two lovers
Forced into secrecy
We were two lovers
That couldn't happen

We were two lovers
Forced into secrecy
We were two lovers
Whose future was fantasy
Two lovers
Forced into secrecy
We were two lovers
Whose future was fantasy

Two lovers
That couldn't happen
