Old Love Songtext
von Glenn Richards

I don′t know where it is
Where the old love goes
Probably to England
Where it turned to itself
To imagination vainly
To be born again

Our numbers will increase
But will new love cease to grow old?
No

In a dream I was having
Old love came to me
In the measure of a song
Many birds, many rooms
Many shafts of light
By eucalyptus passing through

Our numbers will increase
But will new love cease to grow old?


It's unpleasant to the touch
But it wants you so much
To include it in the passage
Of intoxicated play
To be young so to glory
In the best part of the story
For it sinks to allegory
And the trope of decay

I don′t know what to do
With my old love
I can't leave it home alone
I don't know what to do
With your old love
Any more than you do

Our numbers will increase
But will new love cease
Our numbers will increase
But will new love cease to grow old?

Old love comes in
And the company recedes
Because everybody reads
What his company reads
To a tightness in the chest
The unpickable lock
Reversal, metamorphosis
Return to a rock


Till somebody has to say
In the spirit of fair play
"Old love you cannot stay
Go away"
Till somebody has to say
In the spirit of the day
"Old love you cannot stay"
And it rolls away
