Brion Riborn - I Was A Lover Lyrics

I was a lover
i was a lover
i was a lover 'fore i was a child
i was a lover
i was a lover
i was a lover and i was wild

when a tree gives birth
a seed falls to the earth
& then it has to die

but there are some days
i think i've got a better way
to live a fruitful life

first you run
then you hide
then you don't come out
you don't come out
in the city lights
in the city

i was a lover
i was a lover
i was a lover 'fore i was a child
i was a lover
i was a lover
i was a lover and i was wild

oh, in my ostentatious
acclamations
will you want me still?

& now my lip is cut
from fighting God knows what
& all my ribs are bruised

it seems you lose
if you try to hide
and you fall
and crawl
'til you wish that you could die

i was a lover
i was a lover
i was a lover 'fore i was a child
i was a lover
i was a lover
i was a lover and i was wild

oh wild

and faster than these legs can carry me

so slow down
