lyrics

THE DREAM WAS WRONG
AND IT TOOK SO LONG TO FIND YOU
THE FEELING’S GONE
AND THIS LOVE SONG’S TO REMIND YOU
IT’S THE PAIN THAT’S HURTING ME SO
IT’S THE SAME WHEREVER I GO

I’LL NEVER EXPERIENCE A TRUER ROMANCE
IT HIT ME LIKE THUNDER, I TOOK IT BY CHANCE
BUT IT’S GONE – LIKE A SHIP IN THE NIGHT
THE WARMTH OF YOUR BODY, SO SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH
WE MAKE LOVE LIKE FIRE, JUST CAN’T GET ENOUGH
BUT IT’S GONE – LIKE A SHOWER IN SPRING

THE DREAM WAS WRONG
AND IT TOOK SO LONG TO FIND YOU
THE FEELING’S GONE
AND THIS LOVE SONG’S TO REMIND YOU
IT’S THE PAIN THAT’S HURTING ME SO
IT’S THE SAME WHEREVER I GO

IT’S EASY TO LOVE BUT IT’S HARD TO FORGET
THE SENSE OF YOUR PRESENCE HAS NOT LEFT ME YET
LIKE CHAMPAGNE – YOU GO STRAIGHT TO MY HEAD
IF PLEASURE IS LOVE BABY I’VE HAD MY CAKE
I’M WAITING TO TASTE IT WAS SIMPLE TO MAKE
BUT IT’S GONE – SOMEONE ELSE HAS MY SHARE

THE DREAM WAS WRONG
AND IT TOOK SO LONG TO FIND YOU
THE FEELING’S GONE
AND THIS LOVE SONG’S TO REMIND YOU
IT’S THE PAIN THAT’S HURTING ME SO
IT’S THE SAME WHEREVER I GO

They made their first demos in 1983 followed soon after by a 12" single ”FROM TIME” which became a highly sought-after Rare Groove. ... more
