The Day That I Give In Songtext
von Richard Thompson

Everybody tells me it′s a shame
I love in vain
Everybody tells me that they're there
To hold, to love, to share

I can′t help it
I know this one ends badly
How can I tear my skin
O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In

Every time I see you I go weak
It's a losing streak
Every time I see you there′s a spark
That lights the dark


But you don′t want me
You think I'm something tainted
Like I′m some mortal sin
O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In

Every day I′m moving in a mist
My home-made bliss
Every day I'm floating on a tide
Of dreams, and hope, and pride
But I can′t hold on
When the dream must end
I know the darkness begins

O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In
O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In
Everybody tells me it′s a shame
I love in vain
