Hook of Love (Live)

She turns over deep in the night Listens to him sleeping, reaches for the light Dawn approaching, it's almost day She could be waking a thousand miles away But there's a hook of love just beneath the skin The harder that she pulls away oh the deeper it goes in There's an island out there somewhere, she's too tired to swim So the tide drifts her back to him On the Hook of love She hates the cold, he hates the heat She loves the country, he needs the street He's quick to borrow, she's swift to lend He's always breaking and she wants to mend But on a hook of love they turn and they twist Wounding one another with every lie and every kiss Like gypsies with daggers, they're tied at the wrist Now they're getting much too close to miss On the Hook of love In all the stories when she was young Here was a partner for everyone You had to keep searching to find the other half Staring out the window she wants to laugh We stumble in the darkness stretching out our hands Hoping that we'll find someone else who understands We're looking out for shelter, longing for romance But how we leave it up to luck and chance He sits down at the table and they share a look It only lasts a second but she could write a book For a thousand things were said in the moment that it took To tie another line on the hook On the Hook of love On the Hook of love
