Glorious Love

Alison Moyet

Somewhere in the shadows of your eyes,
An element that takes me by surprise.
Something wants to pull me to my feet,
Willing me to go into retreat.
But how can I get up and walk away
When ninety-nine percent decides to stay,
And watch the other fade to grey?

[Chorus]
This glorious love will tear us down
When nothing is left to turn around,
And giving it all is not enough
For this glorious love.

This pleasure never ought to be denied,
For this is joy personified.
You can talk to me of give and take
When I could take of you for takings sake.
But how can I deny what's on my mind,
Knowing it to be of my design?
Relegated - I resign.

[Chorus]
