lyrics

Thanks for coming round, this week’s been untidy
My heads been spinning round but I made it to Friday
Through a world without love
Maybe you and I, we could go walking,
And maybe by and by, we’ll start talking
About anything but love
When we could be out there riding the fences
Turn the other cheek to the wind and the rain
Never to let love slip through the defences
Opened like a child to the joy and the pain
Out of my front door and into the courtyard
A statue from the war, of a soldier who fought hard
But never found love
Walking past the children out in the playground
Come home when it’s cold with talk of what they found
Out looking for love
When they could be out there riding the fences
Turn the other cheek to the wind and the rain
Never to let love slip through the defences
Opened like a child to the joy and the pain
Baby you and I ain’t getting much younger
And as the years go by, I’m losing my hunger
For anything but love
So step into my room, take your coat off
Show me all the wounds in the flesh that you’re made of
If you’re looking for love…
Never to be out there riding the fences
Turn the other cheek to the wind and the rain
When we could let love slip through the defences
Opened like a child to the joy and the pain
