Adrian Belew - The War In The Gulf Between Us lyrics

It started long ago, you have to understand We thought we'd make a life, we thought we had a plan We built it like a house and filled it up with kids The only trouble is I won't be back again Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind And nothing i can do will bring it back again Nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us Something in my heart no longer could survive Those battles in the day, the quiet in the night I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods I tip-toed all around you; you danced around me too And somewhere in between we found the time for love The only trouble is It never was enough Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind And nothing i can do will bring it back again Nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us Something in my heart no longer could survive Those battles in the day, the quiet in the night I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us What was the sense in keeping alive Something that never made us satisfied Sometimes it's better to get on with your life I don't believe in hurting each other all the time Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains And after all the nights have swallowed up the pain Then maybe we will meet, we'll find a neutral place The only trouble is What will we have to say? Well something in our hearts will have to try and give And something in our hearts will have to learn to live Together and apart without another war between us
