lyrics

thought i was in love
with the boy round the corner
with smilin eyes
then i looked up one day
you were struttin my way
came to realize

that it wasn't love
oh it wasn't love
no not at all
no it wasn't love
no it wasn't love
no not at all

oh i wonder will love
creep into my mornin
not for the moment
but til the end of all time (x2)

thought i was in love
with the boy round the corner
with smilin eyes
then i looked up one day
you were struttin my way
came to realize

that it wasn't love
no it wasn't love
no not at all
oh it wasn't love
no it wasn't love
no not at all

oh i wonder will love
creep into my mornin
not for the moment
but til the end of all time (x2)

thought i was in love
with the boy round the corner
with smilin eyes
then i looked up one day
you were lookin my way
came to realize

oh this could be love
oh it could be love
cause i want it all
oh this could be love
oh this could be love
cause i want to give you
give you my all

oh i wonder will love
creep into my mornin
not for the moment
but til the end of all time (x2)

oh it could be love
oh it could be love
cause I want it all
oh it wasn't love
no it wasn't love
no not at all

Force Majeure

This could’ve been my album of the year if I’d noticed it. Hell. 2020, feeling like shit and then this musical balm appears. Live recording on one mic. Just bass and harp. Awesome. It swings like a pendulum do! Big shout out for Dezron’s love of coffee. I now have 2 of his albums and he’s proselytising on behalf of coffee on both. Damn right ☕️ Crinklechips
