The War in The Gulf Between Us — текст песни (Adrian Belew)

It started long ago, you have to understand

We thought wed make a life, we thought we had a plan

We built it like a house and filled it up with kids

The only trouble is

I wont be back again



Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind

And nothing I can do will bring it back again

Nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us

Something in my heart no longer could survive

Those battles in the day, the quiet in the night

I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us



And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods

I tip-toed all around you; you danced around me too

And somewhere in between we found the time for love

The only trouble is

It never was enough



Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind

And nothing I can do will bring it back again

Nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us

Something in my heart no longer could survive

Those battles in the day, the quiet in the night

I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us



What was the sense in keeping alive

Something that never made us satisfied

Sometimes its better to get on with your life

I dont believe in hurting each other all the time



Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains

And after all the nights have swallowed up the pain

Then maybe we will meet, well find a neutral place

The only trouble is

What will we have to say?



Well something in our hearts will have to try and give

And something in our hearts will have to learn to live

Together and apart without another war between us
