I know I’ve had you troubled And I know I’ve seared your mind But you know that I love you And that our love’s not blind
And sure, my dreams lie with you But I’ve many more besides And if I can’t see them through Our love will slowly die
So if you doubt for the time that you’re spending And if you doubt for the love in your heart Think of London and the girl you’re returning And the days you defend will turn to gold
So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with you Dare I stay forever
Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for you Dare I stay forever
And I’ve known pious women Who have led such secret lives Shameless in the dark So shameful in the light
And you may not be pious And I may not be saved But we could live quite happily And quietly unfazed
So if you doubt for the time that you’re spending And if you doubt for the love in your heart Think of London and the girl you’re returning And the days you defend will turn to gold
So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with you Dare I stay forever
Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for you Dare I stay forever
I was dreaming of the Liffey I was thinking of the Thames And now the east river flows by to the same end Are we too sentimental to not look back and stare
So love with your eyes Love with your mind Love with you Dare I stay forever
Do it for yourself Do it for the girl Do it for you Dare I stay forever
