    Always Been A Lover
Lyrics

I can’t convey my love, with words, I’ve tried 

These clouds get to weighing on my eyes 

Once said, twice ignored, barely alive  

My dear we’re running out of time 

Static dreams of a path once shown 

They have so much to say  

This story line needs you alone

As our years became this day  


CH: It’s not an illusion, not even confusion 

Comin’ down the line within 

One destination, one inclination  

Your patience wears too thin 

In my estimation, we’re just lost in Translation 


V2: Your mind it can stray, don’t search yesterday 

I watch when you wring your hands 

The cards will lay or so they say 

Beside the best laid plans 

Pain felt in vain, it fell like rain  

All through the dark and lonely night 

Forget your regret, and stake your claim 

As the embers swirl and take flight 


V3: Don’t cast one more pearl, for he who denies 

It’s only sticks and stones 

So stay here with me, together we’ll be 

In the warp and weft of what’s sewn 

As we mind our intention, and walk this dimension 

Hang on with all your might  

Old hearts can’t deny a love that don’t die 

May yours always stay bright 

 


Tag “In my estimation we’re just lost in translation” into Outro 


Verse Chords: 1 5 2- 4 1 5 1 3 4 1 5 1 

Chorus Chords: 4 5 1 b7 4 5 1 b7 4 2- 5 2- b7 4 


An inclination of imagination 

A false declaration of imagination 

A false declaration of salutations 

A lost declaration of salutations 

Complication 

Destination 

Took some frustration

There’s no destination, free from temptation 

One destination, one inclination 

This affirmation, this inclination

Our destination, fraught with temptation 

This destination
