Golden Earring - Distant Love lyrics

It was a night like any other night

as it moved into a new day

Came up to a crossroad

Colors turnin' to grey

You had troubles way back home

So you had a good excuse

How could you resist this anyway

Her big brown eyes made you lose your mind

She knocked your defenses down

All you could do was look at her

while she watched you coming down

She said pedal to the metal

just a 7 minute drive

Next thing you remember

Is a love sentence for life

Heaven came to earth, like and angel from above

You had to slip away from it

You had to run away from her

And you knew she wouldn't let you

Two hearts on fire

One dream tangled and wired

Two bodies swaying

Each one alone

to the beat of a distant love

Time can't heal the wounds of separation

The pain just grows in your imagination

A sudden glance, a message in your notebook wakes you up

but when you call she's always off the hook

So you get yourself a ticket and you don't wanna know why

You've found out you're an expert on makin' up lies

You once traded a dream for the life you're livin' in

but you can't run away from it

You better try to forget her and you know she won't let you

Two hearts on fire

One dream tangled and wired

Two bodies swaying

one dream never fading

Each one alone

to the beat of a distant love
