lyrics

We’ve been looking around
Trying other things
Muffling the sound
Of our dainty heart wings


You’ve had a bit of me
Had a bit of her
But we can’t stop desire
It’s a blessing not a curse


Close your eyes and step into the ring
Who blows first, I cannot hear another thing


The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Days are only long dear if the woman in love is slipping away
The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Going astray


And what’s with the sky
Crying again
As long as it lasts
I’ll be sadder than the rain


I know I couldn’t need you more
Than I do today
But it’s hard to ignore
The desire this way


Close your eyes and let love wander in
Who goes first, I cannot miss another thing


The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Days are only long dear if the woman in love is slipping away
The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Going astray


The world is only hard dear
Days are only long dear
The world is only hard dear
Days are only long dear, long dear, long


The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Days are only long dear if the woman in love is slipping away
The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Days are only long dear if the woman in love is slipping away


The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Days are only long dears if the woman in love is slipping away
The world is only hard dear if the man you’re loving is going astray
Going astray
