Peter Godwin - Torch Songs For The Heroine (Extended Version) lyrics

The love she feels exciting - is it a warning? Open arms open wide, then cast aside in the morning I've got no defense - there is no reward We're better off hurting than just being bored Sometimes a stranger surprises you Sweeps you away with something more noble than gold A life of night - times wrapped in sheets - she is waiting To be born once again, or be lost in a life hard and hating You have what you want - you care for no-one Your crime is the pa**ion of love on the run Sometimes it's strangely exciting To be swept off your feet by the beat of your heart when you hear Torch songs for the h**ne Torch songs for the h**ne Your energy wasted in love, it's more sacred than sin...
