Nick Teale - Love Was

Love was the red sun risin'
Some far-off dream beyond the great horizon
And love was the prize for winnin'
Always takin', takin' and there ain't no givin'

Love was the right to which all heroes laid their claim
Not understanding but they chased it all the same
Love was everything and it was nothing too
But now I know, now I know
Now I know that love is you

Love was the dream ethereal
It was just the prize in a box of Cheerios
And love was the goal I'm reachin'
Always failin', failin' so what am I achievin'?

Love was more precious than silver, more than gold
So give your money now and buy what you've been sold
Love was a lie to bring us closer to what's true
But now I know, now I know
Now I know that love is you

Love is doing all I can
To see you smile as I take your hand
No conditions, no controls
Just to feel your warmth ignite my soul
Won't you light it on fire
Won't you light it on fire
Won't you light it on fire

Love was the primal passion
So why's it always seem to be a slave to fashion?
And love was the ultimatum
Now or never never gonna stop it fadin'

Why even bother tryin' to put it into words?
Defined by someone else it all sounds so absurd
Love is a force I can't pretend I ever knew
All I know, all I know
All I know is I love you
