Love Doesn't Belong

American Music Club


An agony waiting for someone to tell you to shut up 
But don't stop even if there's no moon to hold you 
Or any other lifeless rock 
I can tell you put all your hopes into the shoes you buy 
Your loneliness has feet that walk it's got wings that fly 
And it does sing a song 
Love doesn't belong to anyone

They don't see the coffin only the nails their lights 
Too bright for your home movies 
They'll set you adrift disappointed and starving 
But never as hungry as the sharks 
Your desperate suit made out of puppet strings 
doesn't last very long 
Desperate in the quiet 
you're sinking below mouthing the words to some 
Old sixties song, a quiet song 
Love doesn't belong to anyone 

When you're finally silenced and led into alleys 
And led into dark corners where no one can hear 
Where what you say doesn't lead anywhere 
but darker corners of your fear 
There must be more to it 
than the pilgrim's hateful dream of love and peace 
I know I've had that vision too 
An old key on a rusty chain of keys 
A key that turns you your whole life long 
Love doesn't belong to anyone
