about
This is a love song, despite the uncertainty of the title. I think things work out for these two, somewhat tortuously, but then that's love.
lyrics
Is this a love song, I don’t know,
But your unruly locks delight me.
Is this a love song, I can’t say, I won’t say
But the wrinkles round your eyes make smile.
Lately I seem to find
I am laughing all the time.
I’m drifting in and out of days
In a poppy-scented haze.
And you are here, in scruffy clothes
You crowd my space, then stroke my face.
You are here, when I need you most
You fire me up, then draw me close.
Is this a love song, I don’t know, I don’t know
But your unruly locks delight me.
Is this a love song, I can’t say, I won’t say
But the wrinkles round eyes make smile.
Lately, it seems to me,
I might have happened on the key.
A boy, a girl, both thinking their luck is in
That’s what it takes in life to win.
And you are here, though I push you away
I lose my cool, but still you stay.
Yes, you are here, still it’s hard to believe,
That one of us won’t someday leave
It’s not a love song
I don’t write love songs
Is this a love song?
I can’t say
I won’t say
Is this a love song?
Please don’t make me say
Cos I don’t want to lose all we have today.
Is this a love song, I don’t know,
I just don’t know
But those wrinkles round your eyes……….
