lirik lagu a love you can’t survive – richard thompson

now i remember the promise i gave you
the night i shipped out as a peace volunteer
as we sat holding hands in the lamb and flag tavern
i swore i’d be back for you 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

now i bear the stain
the scar on my name
i never can go back again

there’s a love you can’t survive
and it burns you up inside

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
king of the clouds and all i survey
there’s women who are willing, and the law can’t touch me
yours is the one face that won’t go away

- richard thompson
