The Remains

Peter Mayer

Your lips are moving but I don’t understand
Your eyes go right through me off to some holy land
We stand on our islands both in command
And I can’t remember when I lost hold of your hand

You know you got to hold on to what you believe
And so we hold on tight till we’re completely incomplete
You don’t want to give out but you won’t give in
When it’s all stripped away only the love will remain

Moonlight and lovesongs lay deep within your dreams
But true life’s got no manners takes a hammer to your peace of pie
But it’s only you it’s only me
Trying to bring the best of the rest of our love back alive

After the moonshine has got me high
After the words have all been twisted and turned into lies
When you and the bad guy are one and the same – oh
When theres no one to blame only the love will remain

But it’s only you it’s only me
Tryin’ to bring the best of the rest of our love back alive

Come lay your head down there’s no game to win
Our dreams will find faces and us will be them
Free as forgiveness a rainbow to rain oh
When it’s all washed away, only the love will remain
