The War In The Gulf Between Us Lyrics by 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
