The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove (Remastered) Lyrics

 

The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove - Dead Can Dance

Written by:Brendan Perry/Lisa Gerrard

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 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

 

 

I gave you all my time
