Lover To Lover
Lyrics:
[English]
I've been losin' sleep
I've been keepin' myself awake
I've been wandering the streets
For days and days and days
Going from road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
And black to red
But I believe
I believe
There's no salvation for me now
No space among the clouds
And I feel I'm heading down
But that's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
...
And I've been taking chances
I've been setting myself up for the fall
And I've been keeping secrets
From my heart and from my soul
Going from road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
And black to red
But I believe
I believe
There's no salvation for me now
No space among the clouds
And I feel I'm heading down
But that's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
Road to road
Bed to bed
And lover to lover
And black to red
And road to road
Bed to bed
And lover to lover
...
No space among the clouds
And I feel I'm heading down
But that's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
That's alright
Road to road
Bed to bed
And lover to lover
And black to red
And road to road
Bed to bed
Lover to lover
To lover, to lover
To lover, to lover
To lover, to lover
To lover, to lover
To lover, to lover
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
No salvation for me now
...
