Love Among the Ruins Songtext
von The Del-Lords

The weather′s gettin' colder
The landlord says the boiler′s broke down
I can feel myself gettin' older
Livin' in sin, livin′ downtown among the ruins
Well, I′ve been workin' nights
I hardly see my baby
I hardly see the light

Boil some water for shaving
Forget altogether about washing my hair
Tonight we′ll go over to my sister's
And do our bathing there
Love among the ruins

But when my ship comes in
Baby and me, we′re gonna live like people again
The morning sunlight
Perforates the abandoned buildings
Baby sleeps in a cage of light
Plaster falling from the ceiling


Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh, oh-oh

Theres a wino in the hallway
Another lost soul come in from the cold
He thinks he's found the gates of Eden
It once was here
It′s since been sold, it's now the ruins
You gotta make your own paradise
When baby wakes up we'll put the world on ice
Love among the ruins

Well I′ve been workin′ nights
I hardly see my baby
I hardly see the light
Love among the ruins
But when my ship comes in
Baby and me, we're gonna live like people again

Love among the ruins
Love among the ruins
Love among the ruins
