Slave To My Money

I'm a slave to my money, victim of addiction Sometimes a decent person, other times I'm not There are days when I'm happy, days my mind is cloudy Times I feel in love and times I'm falling apart But when I'm with you my darling everything is sunny As we lay it's like the shores of glory, sins are washed by the rolling tide When we can't be together I'm back in stormy weather I feel just like a sinner and the world is crashing round Oh, mistakes I have made them, sometimes over and over again You think that I would learn just when enough is enough It's the same old game and chase It always seems to be the case To long for what we don't have and forget the things we do But when I'm with you my darling everything is sunny As we lay it's like the shores of glory, sins are washed by the rolling tide When we can't be together I'm back in stormy weather I feel just like a sinner and the world is crashing round Hold me close forever Keep me safe from the storms I am in There was a time when I was strong enough to hold my own But that is done, it is done, it has been done I have asked for too much or asked for none at all Been close enough to touch the gates but always seem to fall Is it all a twisted joke or are we all too serious Is this fairy tale called happiness possible at all But when I'm with you my darling everything is sunny As we lay it's like the shores of glory, sins are washed by the rolling tide
