Dead Can Dance - The Ubiquitous Mr Lovegrove

I thought that you knew it all

well you've seen it ten times before

i thought that you had it down

with both your feet on the ground

i love slow...slow but deep

feigned affections wash over me

Dream on my dear

and renounce temporal obligations

dream on my dear

it's a sleep from which you 
may not awaken

you build me up then you 
knock me down

You play the fool while i play the clown

we keep time to the beat of an old slave drum

you raise my hopes then you raise the odds

you tell me that i dream too much

now i'm serving time in disillusionment


I don't believe you anymore...i don't believe you

i thought that i knew it all

i'd seen all the signs before

i thought that you were the one

in darkness my heart was won

you build me up then you knock me down

you play the fool while i play the clown


We keep time to the beat of an old slave drum

you raise my hopes then you raise the odds

you tell me that i dream too much

now i'm serving time in a domestic graveyard


I don't believe you anymore...i don't believe you

never let it be said i was untrue

i never found a home inside of you

never let it be said i was untrue

i gave you all my time.
