The ubiquitous mr. lovegrove

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
Its 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 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.
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
Its 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 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.
