You Hit Me Where I Live

Peter Hammill


There was something in the conversation 
Ancient languages were breaking through 
I was falling for infatuation 
How about you? 
You say it's nothing special 
That's just the way it is... 
You hit me where I live 
Though I drink the cup it leaves me thirsting 
What on earth am I supposed to do? 
When I try to speak I find my bursting 
heart is full of you... 
You say it's only natural 
You say forget and forgive... 
You hit me where I live 
I was once the man who felt no passion 
I was nothing till I fell for you 
You're a duellist (dualist) in your own fashion 
Eyes that run me through... 
You say that it's a mixed blessing 
But I should take the gift you give 
You hit me where I live
