Eros Lyrics & Chords By Brendan Perry

First time I saw you
The hands of time stood still
For a moment you were back
And then my heart stood still

But your arms belong
To another man’s arms
So I returned to my dreaming

We'll dance through the night
Like planets turning round the sun
And died upon the moonlight
We stole glances like thieves in the night

But your arms belong
To another man’s arms
So I returned to my dreaming

I would lie around in my bed
Wondering if I should get out of it
But the old dog must be fed
And I must sing, sing my unrequited love song

All through the evening
And long winter nights
I always adored you
But from afar

We would come in disguise
To the Le Grand Bal masquerade
Where I would try
To find my
Electric, green-eyed girl
But it's just a game
To keep on playing
Like hide and seek with your feelings

I would lie around in my bed
Wondering if I should get out of it
But the old dog must be fed
And I must sing, sing my unrequited love song

All through the evening
And long winter nights
I always adored you
But from afar
