The Stranglers The Spectre of Love song lyrics

I never knew what made me do it

I just remember it was wrong

I've questioned why I put you through it

Who would have thought you'd be so strong

I should have wrapped you up and kept you safe

Instead I turned my back on you

You can't deny there's a spectre of love

He keeps the Hawk and Dove

You can't deny there's a spectre of love

I keep your picture by my window

You're smiling and you look so young

If I could only speak your language

You'd know that you're the only one

I feel like stepping out in dead mans shoes

And only you can save me now

You can't deny there's a spectre of love

He keeps the hawk and dove

You can't deny there's a spectre of love

And if the time should give up

This can be undone I swear it

Salvation can be found in times like these

I just need you when I found mine

You can't deny there's a spectre of love

He keeps the Hawk and Dove

You can't deny there's a spectre of love

He keeps the Hawk and Dove

You can't deny there's a spectre of love
