For The Love Of Life by David Sylvian Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And slowly you come to realize
It's all as it should be
You can only do so much
If you're game enough
You could place your trust in me
[Chorus]
For the love of life
There's a trade off
We could lose it all
But we'll go down fighting
[Bridge]
And what of the children?
Surely they can't be blamed for our mistakes
[Verse 2]
And slowly I've come to realize
It's all as it should be
That hiding space, a lonely place
How can the right thing be so wrong?
I've found mistakes where they don't belong
[Chorus]
For the love of life
We'll defeat this
They may tear us down
But we'll go down fighting
Won't we?
And slowly you come to realize
It's all as it should be
You can only do so much
If you're game enough
You could place your trust in me
[Chorus]
For the love of life
There's a trade off
We could lose it all
But we'll go down fighting
[Bridge]
And what of the children?
Surely they can't be blamed for our mistakes
[Verse 2]
And slowly I've come to realize
It's all as it should be
That hiding space, a lonely place
How can the right thing be so wrong?
I've found mistakes where they don't belong
[Chorus]
For the love of life
We'll defeat this
They may tear us down
But we'll go down fighting
Won't we?
