Is it hard to wait?
Drowned by your mongrel heart again
If you don't answer, where do you want to be found, love?
You duck through the window, you're a blight on the town

[Chorus]
Love is turning you out
Sliding, whirling round
I tried to warn you
This waiting game
Will bring that specter down

And would it be wrong
To clamp down on your racing heart, love?
And if they'd known, persisted, oh, to be found, love
It's not what you deserve

[Chorus]
Love is turning you out
Sliding, whirling round
I tried to warn you
This waiting game
Will bring that specter down

Faster than you run, come your demons
Turn out the lights, oh, sacred owl
If you don't answer, would you want to be found, love?
Five days on, trapped by their weight
[Chorus]
Love is turning you out
Sliding, winding round
I tried to warn you
This waiting game
Will bring that specter down, down, down

Back on this old game, you'll be
Cut down in a seedy stairway
If you don't answer, would you want to be found, love?
Sapped from the bed to the window

Looking back on the time
Starting in the mines
What it is to be twenty-nine
When fame sets your life down

Would it be wrong
Would it be wrong
To disappoint you now
Disappoint you now
