Del Amitri - Deceive Yourself текст песни

The world

And the surrounding stars

Might change completely in the space of an hour

But not an eclipse of the sky nor a colliding car

Will turn me back now that Ive come this far.

Not a shotgun blast nor a shooting star

Will bring her down from her stubborn tower.

Its a kind of madness, its a kind of sin

To live in the state of mind Ive been living in

Her face imprinted on my sight

Her voice resounding in my skull at night.

If there is a living goddess on earth

It must be her from the heaven highlife

It takes this girl to realise what youre worth

And Im worth nothing if shes worth more than my life.

But theres more to me than simple devotion

I wont just crawl at her feet and utter a plea

And if she refused I wouldnt walk into the ocean

Just because my world was left all out at sea.

So it was in this cafe when we eventually met

And I wished I had sunglasses and smoked cigarettes

The world

And the surrounding stars

They change completely in the space of an hour

When over the table and two cups of tea

She told me she felt the same way about me.

And not an eclipse of the sky nor a colliding car

Could have shaken our attention from each others face

As we both stepped down from our stubborn towers

We jump into the ignorant heaven that is the lovers place.
