Song language: English
Love in the Time of Socialism |
Maybe I’d be better off in Berlin |
Or as an artist’s muse in London |
Drifting from hand to hand |
Maybe I was born to be a sailor |
Drop my anchors in Antigua |
As a travelling fisherman |
But I am home wherever you are near |
There’s no life in anything |
When you’re not here |
What could take my love away? |
Maybe I was destined for philosophy |
Leading leftist ideologies |
At the Paris-Sorbonne |
Dreaming up the splendid demise |
Of the societies we despise |
At Café de Flore |
But these things lose all their meaning and allure |
If you’re not there to |
Witness the grandeur |
What could take my love away? |
Maybe we’ll be missionaries in the Congo |
Revolutionaries in Cuba |
Perhaps we’ll build a home |
In the shadows of the forest |
Along the east coast, or the west coast |
I forget where we decided |
As long as I’m with you when we do it |
I could trade the views in |
For any pallet |
Nothing can take my love away |
No, nothing can take my love away |
