A Love You Can't Survive
BmNow I remember the Apromise I gave you
The Anight I shipped out as a Ampeace volunteer
As we Bmsat holding hands in the ALamb and Flag tavern
I Aswore I’d be back for yoAmu same time next year
But I killed a man in a Brazzaville street fight
I tried to hold back, but he taunted me so
5 years till they freed me from that Brazzaville prison
Out of boredom or pity, I never will know
Chorus:
Now AI bear the stain, the sAcar on my name
And I Anever Acan go back aAgaBmin
BmThere’s Ama love yoAu can’t surviBmve, there?Am??s a lovAe you can’t survive
AAnd it tears you up inAside, Athere’s a love yoAu can’t BmsurvBmive
I sailed my boat into New Orleans harbour
Tied up at the jetty, as bold as you please
With a half-ton of charlie built in to the bulkhead
Right under the noses of all them police
Now here I sit in my house on the mountain
I’m King of the clouds and all I survey
There’s women who are willing, and the law can’t touch me
But yours is the one face that won’t go away
Chorus
