My lover lying down

Arms reached out across the ground

He sleeps by stormy seas

With his eyes cast up he searches

The paradise above

Golden clouds, a lie in the dove

My love, he waits for me

Waits for me to find

Words that I can't hide

Love has a funny way

Of spinning you round

The world plays some wicked games

And they're bringing us down

My lover lying down

My lover lying down

My lover lying

My lover sitting still

Knows my heart, he always will

Stays with me though I stray

Wants me to deny these things I can't describe

Love has a funny way (love has a funny way)

Of spinning you round (spinning you round, spinning you)

The world plays some wicked games (wicked games, oh)

And they're bringing us down

My lover lying down

My lover lying down

My lover lying

My lover standing by

Pretending not to see me cry

He tells me he won't stay

Unless I learn to change my ways

But I won't dim this light

The color turned his black and white

He wants me to be

Someone I can't believe

Love has a funny way (love has a funny way)

Of spinning you round (turning you round, oh)

The world plays some wicked games (wicked games, wicked games)

And they're bringing us down

My lover lying down

Love has a funny way

My lover lying down

Of spinning you round

My lover lying

The world plays some wicked games

My lover lying down

They're bringing us down

My lover lying down
