Lyrics
Lyrics Sheet - Love & Decadence by Craig James Coffey - Copyright 2012
Verse 1
We turned our backs on their dreams.
Our desparation got the better of us.
All we wanted was love it seems
but we got on the wrong bus.
Verse 2
Is it self pity or sadness
that makes the tears grow ?
How we got into this madness
to go against the flow ?
Chorus
And our light is shining
in our eyes
And our love is burning
in our souls (after chorus - "Our Love is burning, burning")
Verse 3
Between the lines and our anger
their waves eroded our lives.
They've always been strangers
promises that could not survive.
Chorus (as above)
Verse 4
Drifting in their decadance,
through the winds of normality.
Divided by circumstance,
or was it just duty ?
Chorus (as above 2 times then ending "Burning in our souls")
