Only You — текст песни (Steve Harley)

I have been living a life of a sad lost soul
With a head full of guilt and pain
Like a messenger carrying bad news home
I was torn between the lost and the gain
Sometimes I thought survival was only a hopeless compromise
Many times I felt like praying

Chorus

Then I saw you dancing like a fire
Only you as bright as any sun
And me, I was looking for something for so long then
Only you came to me


I had been (was) travelling lonely from town to town
On a road to find eternal youth
I was hiding my eyes from my life
I was afraid to face the truth
(I was afraid I had to face the truth)*
No message in the Bible, no no
No flash of lightning in the sky
No compromise or pity

Chorus

I was falling to parts for since who knows when
I didn`t know whom to thank or to blame
Not a comfort in messages ten by ten
They said the bottle of eternal shame
No bolts of thunder in the sky, no no
(No symbols of denials, no patronizing pity)*

Chorus

Only you, dancing like a fire
Only you, as bright a any sun
And me, I was looking for love for so long
Only you came to me, ya ya
And me, I was looking for love for so long then
Only you came to me


Direct from Steve`s lyric sheet
Felt like quitting
The loss and the gain
Hiding my eyes from a life going wrong
Afraid to have to face the truth
Falling apart since who knows when...
`n all the comforting messages, ten by ten,
They said the bottle`ll bring eternal shame
