Chords and lyrics for Spectre Of Love by Stranglers
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 a 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 I’m stepping out in dead man’s shoes
And only you can save me now
You can’t deny there’s a spectre of love
He keeps a hawk and dove
You can’t deny there’s a spectre of love
And if the time should come
This can be undone – and I swear it
Salvation can be found in times like these
I just need you and I’ve found mine
You can’t deny there’s a spectre of love
He keeps a hawk and dove
You can’t deny there’s a spectre of love
He keeps a hawk and dove
You can’t deny there’s a spectre of love
