Lyrics Persuasion - Richard Thompson, Teddy Thompson

Persuasion

You and I Tempted by the promise of a different life
Time has fled
There’s a constant battle running through my head
I don’t know what to do
'Cause I still believe
After all the foolish things you’ve put me through
I could always make a start on something new
And I’ll always be a man who’s open to Persuasion
Blind romance
There’ll be no half measures given half a chance
But we never learn
Trusting in the fire while the cruel flame burns
And we need to rebuild
What was never there
What got left behind
After all the foolish things that we’ve been through
I could always make a start on something new
And I’ll always be a man who’s open to Persuasion
And it’s written in the my heart
So that everybody can see it And it’s written in my soul
After all, I still believe it I still believe it I still believe it I still believe it I don’t know what to do
'Cause I still believe
After all the foolish things you put me through
I could always make a start with something new
And I’ll always be a man who’s open to Persuasion
Persuasion
Persuasion
Persuasion
I still believe it I still believe it Persuasion
I still believe it I still believe it I still believe it Persuasion
Persuasion
