Love On Loan Lyrics

Your love alone

Saved me from love's past events

But your love on loan

Put my life into suspense

The truth crawled out the bottle

And we rode it for a fall

With a mad man on the throttle

And the wheel turned toward the wall

Love reached its hand

Between two islands of distress

You moved inland

To populate my emptiness

With its undercover story

This love's lived like a spy

And there's precious little glory

Living someone else's lie

How could I resist?

I leant you my life thankfully

Now my life insists

You give it back to me

We made our stand

On quicksands of unhappiness

Love showed its hand

By wanting what it can't possess

The mistress down the ages

Has known this purgatory

Now I need to turn the pages

See what becomes of me

I leant you my life thankfully

Now my life insists

You give it back to me

I'm giving back your love on loan

I'm giving back your love on loan

Your love on loan
