Only You Songtext
von Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

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 loss and the gain

Sometimes I thought survival
Was only a hopeless compromise
Many times I felt like quitting
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 travelling lonely from town to town
On a road to find eternal youth
I′ve been hiding my eyes from my life going numb
I was afraid to have to deal with the truth


No message in the Biblе, no, no
No flash of lightning in the sky
No compromise or pity
Only you, dancing like a firе
Only you, as bright as any sun

And me, I was looking for something for so long then
Only you came to me
I'd been falling apart since who knows when
I didn′t know who to thank or blame
All the comforting messages, ten by ten
They said the bottle'll bring eternal shame

No symbols in the bible, no, no
No bolts of thunder in the sky
No sentimental pity
Only 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
