The Spectre of Love Songtext
von The Stranglers

I never knew what made me do it
I just remember it was wrong
I′ve questioned why I put you through it
Who would have thought you'd be so strong
I should have wrapped you up and kept you safe
Instead I turned my back on you

You can′t deny there's a spectre of love
He keeps the Hawk and Dove
You can't deny there′s a spectre of love


I keep your picture by my window
You′re smiling and you look so young
If I could only speak your language
You'd know that you′re the only one
I feel like stepping out in dead mans shoes
And only you can save me now

You can't deny there′s a spectre of love
He keeps the hawk and dove
You can't deny there′s a spectre of love

And if the time should give up
This can be undone I swear it

Salvation can be found in times like these
I just need you when I found mine

You can't deny there's a spectre of love
He keeps the Hawk and Dove
You can′t deny there′s a spectre of love
He keeps the Hawk and Dove
You can't deny there′s a spectre of love
