nights before eternity (Oh, Tina) Lyrics

You came out a place far away from my world

In the big city all dried out of love

You gave me a place to put all that I am

But my heart and your face it was all of the same

Laws of attraction aren’t applying to you

You are who satellites and the moon crash into

You turned the sky red when all I knew was blue

But the light went away

When I saw nothing was left to say

I don’t know about you, Oh, Tina

From this night of ours I’d make for ya

A thousand more nights and then something akin

To a lifetime where your stay is neverending

All I know about love, Oh, Tina

I’d have given you more if I just knew how

I hate that you are gone, now you’re a memory

That the night left me with, for eternity

I know that somewhere is a place where you are

I doubt planes could bring back what we had before

The marks of our love are now slowly fading

I guess only in my mind are we still holding

You forgot about our promises ahead

All the rules we’d bend to make sure in the end

It was you, it was me, from beyond and above

Just a different world with two people in love

I don’t know about you, Oh, Tina

From this night of ours I’d make for ya

A thousand more nights and then something akin

To a lifetime of love that is neverending

All I know about love, Oh, Tina

I’d have given you more if I just knew how

I hate that you are gone, now you’re a memory

That the night left me with, for eternity

I don’t know about you, Oh, Tina

From this night of ours I’d make for ya

A thousand more nights and then something akin

To a lifetime where you say we’re neverending

All I know about love, Oh, Tina

I’d have given you more if I just knew how

I hate that you are gone, now you’re a memory

That the night left me with, for eternity

You… can have it all

(My words in your left ear)

Captured my soul

(They’re still right here)

Burnt the empty vessel

(They must congeal)

I… still I need more

(In a frozen lake still)

Will fare where you are

(You’ll stay right here)

My heartbeat’s an echo

(At the ends of your sea)

I’m losing the life I know

Come back and stay

Don’t you want me at the end of each day?

The world will love us, and trust

I will love you till I’m dust
