Do We Choose Who We Love - The Waterboys

I was looking for her but I fell for you

It was all of a blur and a mystery too

I was moving through time, riding my luck

When your eyes met mine I was thunderstruck

Do we choose who we love?

Is it up to us?

Does anyone know?

Does anyone know?

They say all may change in the blink of an eye

That every truth contains the seed of a lie

She looked out on a land of dust and trees

She gave him her hand, he gave her disease

Do we choose who we love?

Is it up to us?

Does anyone know?

Does anyone know?

Love blows where it will

And honey so must you

I’ve put forth all my skill

And there’s nothing more that I can do

So good night my dear, I’m tired and it’s late

And tomorrow I keep an appointment with fate

In my time on earth I’ve played the game

I’ve loved and I’ve lost and they’re one and the same

Do we choose who we love?

Is it up to us?

Does anyone know?

Does anyone know?
