I heard a guitar and I longed for the night
I longed to think it would be all right
To hold you
Just a lover, lover always playing games
Oh, the lover, lover always finding pain
Caravans and oriental pines
Mark the night in ornamental lines
I want you
Don't want a puzzle with a missing part
I can't be [Am]friends with a degraded heart
I want you
Just a lover, lover always playing games
Oh, the lover, lover always finding pain
I was [Am7]sitting in the ɾoom
Smelling perfumes from the past
Just a faded bloom at last
I was [Am7]sitting in the ɾoom
Smelling perfumes from the past
Just a faded bloom at last
You were so liquid
Just a spirit of thе ɾiver
I felt your body bend
I watchеd your muscles quiver it was [Am7]love
You'll die of snakebite
Be consumed on [C7]the fire
Vagabonds and [Bm]jackals silhouetted by the pyre
It was [Am7]love
Just a lover, lover always finding pain
Oh, the lover, lover always playing games
I want you [A7i want you
Lover, lover
