lyrics

I LIVE NOT WHERE I LOVE
(1989)


I live not where I love
(I did not coin the line)
And though I love where I do live
My heart is no longer mine

It’s safe into your keeping, love
It lives within your bed
Bid me now to run or stand
But not to cut the thread

My heart is no longer mine, love
It will not do my bidding
Life is fraught with pain and hurt
But ten times worth the living
