Love And Regret Lyrics - Deacon Blue

Cold dawn won`t comfort you 

Cold coffee 

Won`t see you through 

Cold sheets 

Won`t heal your heart 

Your frozen fingers of your 

Name so tarred 

I know so rarely 

That things come your way 

Your ways are tender 

And your paths are straight 

Your mind`s not lived in 

The way ours are set 

Your heart is open 

To love and regret 

Rings and letters they pass you by 

You wish them well 

And seldom cry 

For stones and promises and wedding sighs 

You`ve known the times that you`ve 

Lived and died 

These sailors come by 

And spend time ashore 

Their thoughts are hoarded 

As yours have been stored 

Your mind`s not lived in 

The way ours are set 

Your heart is open 

To love and regret 

Outside in the morning air 

I hear the soundtrack of the 

Blues harp player 

It touches feelings that you 

Don`t arouse 

Knocks me back to that 

Shuttered house 

Take me back 

When they`re all out 

Take me back to that 

Shuttered house 

I know so rarely 

That things come your way 

Your ways are tender 

And your paths are straight 

Your mind`s not lived in 

The way ours are set 

Your heart is open 

To love and regret 

Love and regret 

Love and regret
