Love Never Dies

07 Love Never Dies


























Love never dies

Well, she came from France
With a grace you’d glance
In the eyes of all around her.
She could not see
But it seemed to me
She saw clear enough inside her.

She met him down in the old bar
One night after her studying.
He looked real wild
But his voice was mild
As she came and sat beside him.

Well, she came from France
With a grace you’d glance
In the eyes of all around her.
She could not see
But it seemed to me
She saw clear enough inside her.

Now he’d been shunned
Not for what he’d done
But just for how folk saw him.
She saw with her heart
And for his part
He saw blind love before him.

Well, she came from France
With a grace you’d glance
In the eyes of all around her.
She could not see
But it seemed to me
She saw clear enough inside her.

They fell in love and fore too long
Took a room above the diner
When the winter came
A gas fire’s flames
Snuffed out the lives inside there.

Well, she came from France
With a grace you’d glance
In the eyes of all around her.
She could not see
But it seemed to me
She saw clear enough inside her.

Now they both lie, under spinning skies
Deep side by side, forever.
On the slab it cries
Love never dies
As the marble starts to weather.

Well, she came from France
With a grace you’d glance
In the eyes of all around her.
She could not see
But it seemed to me
She saw clear enough inside her.

Best drug in town

It ain’t the weed that I need
And booze just brings me down.
You can keep your coke
And all your dope
Cause I ain’t fooling around.
My hands a shaking,
My legs a quaking,
I smile when I should frown.
Love and lust,
Boom or bust,
Darling you’re the best drug in town.

You’re what I crave as I rave,
Misbehaving like a clown
But your sweet face and gentle grace
Is what keeps me hanging round.
It ain’t the weed that I need
And booze just brings me down.
You can keep your coke
And all your dope
Cause I ain’t fooling around.
My hands a shaking,
My legs a quaking,
I smile when I should frown.
Love and lust,
Boom or bust,
Darling you’re the best drug in town.

Going cold turkey, as your eyes work me
From far across the room.
I’ve got to tell you, try and sell you
My heart in this small tune.
 It ain’t the weed that I need
And booze just brings me down.
You can keep your coke
And all your dope
Cause I ain’t fooling around.
 My hands a shaking, My legs a quaking,
I smile when I should frown.
 Love and lust, Boom or bust,
Darling you’re the best drug in town.
