Jeff Lynne - The Sword and the Pen lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't let me out of this kiss Don't let me say what I say The things that scare us today What if they happen someday Don't let me out of your arms For now What if the sword k**s the pen What if the god k**s the man And if he does it with love Well then it's d**h from above And d**h from above is still a d**h [Chorus] I don't want to live without you[x2] I don't want to live[x2] Without you I don't want to live[x2] Without you [Verse 2] For those who still can recall The desperate colors of fall The sweet caresses of May Only in poems remain No one recites them these days For the shame So what if nothing is safe So what if no one is saved No matter how sweet No matter how brave What if each to his own lonely grave [Chorus] [Outro] I don't want to live[x2] Without you I don't want to live[x2] Without you
