Adrian Belew - The War In The Gulf Between Us Lyrics
It started long ago, you have to understandWe thought wed make a life, we thought we had a planWe built it like a house and filled it up with kidsThe only trouble isI wont be back againCause something in my heart has taken to the windAnd nothing I can do will bring it back againNobody ever wins the war in the gulf between usSomething in my heart no longer could surviveThose battles in the day, the quiet in the nightI lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between usAnd then it all began, the quarrels and the moodsI tip-toed all around you; you danced around me tooAnd somewhere in between we found the time for loveThe only trouble isIt never was enoughCause something in my heart has taken to the windAnd nothing I can do will bring it back againNobody ever wins the war in the gulf between usSomething in my heart no longer could surviveThose battles in the day, the quiet in the nightI lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between usWhat was the sense in keeping aliveSomething that never made us satisfiedSometimes its better to get on with your lifeI dont believe in hurting each other all the timeNow after all the lawyers have eaten our remainsAnd after all the nights have swallowed up the painThen maybe we will meet, well find a neutral placeThe only trouble isWhat will we have to say?Well something in our hearts will have to try and giveAnd something in our hearts will have to learn to liveTogether and apart without another war between us
