Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu A Love You Can’t Survive Oleh Richard Thompson

Now I remember the promise I gave you
The night I shipped out as a peace volunteer
As we sat holding hands in the Lamb and Flag tavern
I swore I?d be back for you same time next year

But I killed a man in a Brazzaville street fight
I tried to hold back, but he taunted me so
5 years till they freed me from that Brazzaville prison
Out of boredom or pity, I never will know

Chorus:
Now I bear the stain, the scar on my name
And I never can go back again
There?s a love you can?t survive, there?s a love you can?t survive
And it tears you up inside, there?s a love you can?t survive

I sailed my boat into New Orleans harbour
Tied up at the jetty, as bold as you please
With a half-ton of charlie built in to the bulkhead
Right under the noses of all them police

Now here I sit in my house on the mountain
I?m King of the clouds and all I survey
There?s women who are willing, and the law can?t touch me
But yours is the one face that won?t go away

Chorus
