The Stranglers - Spectre of Love lyrics

I never knew what made me do it I just remember it was wrong I've questioned why I put you through it Who would have thought you'd be so strong I should have wrapped you up and kept you safe Instead I turned my back on you Chorus: You can't deny there's a spectre of love He keeps the hawk and dove You can't deny there's a spectre of love I keep your picture by my window You're smiling and you look so young If I could only speak your language You'd know that you're the only one I feel like stepping out in dead mans shoes And only you can save me now Chorus. And if the time should give up This can be undone I swear it Salvation can be found in times like these I just need you when I found mine Chorus.
