Fighting Over Love Songs - Tony Vincent

Wasn’t it a dream?

You lead me to the water

The moon on the horizon

I was so far under

the memories

In all their repetition

The dogs are far behind me Loose to wander free here

Emptied of my pride

a loneliness I feel inside

Come to rest my soul

Why is it that I don’t recognize your face?

And why you’ve brought me to this place?

I sit in darkness now while my prayers release me Looking for the river but the rivers in the sky

My clock is running backwards and my heart is outta time

We’re never gonna get it while we’re fighting over love songs

I lean into the wind but the winds about to die

The sun is in my face and my tears are running dry

We’ll never work it out while we’re fighting over love songs

So I traveled onward

The sun is getting hotter

My eyes are growing weary

While I dig for water to fill me To wash away the journey

To give my life a reason

To finally free me Searching other ways

Ones that beg for me to stay

I come seeking hope in the land of meaning

Looking for the river but the rivers in the sky

My clock is running backwards and my heart is outta time

We’re never gonna get it while we’re fighting over love songs

I lean into the wind but the winds about to die

The sun is in my face and my tears are running dry

We’ll never work it out while we’re fighting over love

Fighting over love songs

Tempted by the rules

Segregation made by fools

We’ll stand alone till we drink the water

Looking for the river but the rivers in the sky

My clock is running backwards and my heart is outta time

We’re never gonna get it while we’re fighting over love songs

I lean into the wind but the winds about to die

The sun is in my face and my tears are running dry

We’ll never work it out while we’re fighting over love songs

The walls are falling down while the future’s going by We’re looking to the Heavens in a world about to die

We’re never gonna save it while we’re fighting over love songs

Yeah

We talk about the peace while the wars are taking lives

Our hearts about to break while our children are denied

They’re never gonna get it while we’re fighting over love

Fighting over love

Fighting over love songs
