about

Oh Lover

lyrics

Oh lover
How could I ever not have known
Oh lover
That one day you would come
I'm sorry for the times I spent alone
Or I wasted playing round with others
Oh lover
Once I didn't love you
But now you have me thrown

Oh lover
How could you ever not have known
Lover
That one day I would come
I love you but how can I condone
Times you spoke the same soft words to others
Oh lover
And times you shook in wonder
Oh lover
How could you ever not have known

I thought I'd known love but stayed controlled
I thought I'd known fire but I'd stayed cold
I never wanted to have or to hold
But god, you are here and my life's foretold
God you are here
Please do not go

Oh lover
How could we possibly have known
Lover
Why feel we must atone
For those days when you were not my own
We moved closer, though it was with others
We did what we had to
To find this love unknown
Oh lover
How could we possibly have known

I thought I'd known love but stayed controlled
I thought I'd known fire but I'd stayed cold
I never wanted to have or to hold
But god, you are here and my life's foretold

I thought I'd known love but stayed controlled
I thought I'd known fire but I'd stayed cold
I never wanted to have or to hold
But god, you are here and my life's foretold

God you are here
Please do not go
