Laurika Rauch - Song of the old lovers lyrics

In spite of all we're still together So many years of smiles and tears How many times we'd part forever And I would leave for parts unknown A day a week and I'd feel terror And crumble on the telephone And then in bed we'd play confessions And tell the truth, what truth we knew That's how it's been with me and you And then we'd start upon a new digression Chorus: Oh my love My old, my sweet, my gentle love From year to year as all the seasons fall I love you more you know I love you In spite of all we're still together So many years of smiles and tears How many times I found another But you loved others too, my dear A day a week and I'd need pardon And fumble out the key for home And take a wound that went unhealing For you'd forgive without forgiving But of course we went on living Our sorrows locked in Christmas seals Chorus And sometimes we were almost open And sometimes we would almost touch I think we wanted very little But that always seemed too much And did we say we wanted children I really cannot quite recall What we wanted was our freedom To dance through life I think that's all We are just surrealist pilgrims Melting clocks in marble halls Chorus: Oh my love My old, my sweet, my gentle love From year to year as all the seasons fall I love you more you know I love you … still.
