Only You Lyrics - Singles - Steve Harley

I have been living a life of a sad lost soul 

With a head full of guilt and pain 

Like a messenger carrying bad news home 

I was torn between the lost and the gain 

Sometimes I thought survival was only a hopeless compromise 

Many times I felt like praying 

Chorus 

Then I saw you dancing like a fire 

Only you as bright as any sun 

And me, I was looking for something for so long then 

Only you came to me 

I had been (was) travelling lonely from town to town 

On a road to find eternal youth 

I was hiding my eyes from my life 

I was afraid to face the truth 

(I was afraid I had to face the truth)* 

No message in the Bible, no no 

No flash of lightning in the sky 

No compromise or pity 

Chorus 

I was falling to parts for since who knows when 

I didn't know whom to thank or to blame 

Not a comfort in messages ten by ten 

They said the bottle of eternal shame 

No bolts of thunder in the sky, no no 

(No symbols of denials, no patronizing pity)* 

Chorus 

Only you, dancing like a fire 

Only you, as bright a any sun 

And me, I was looking for love for so long 

Only you came to me, ya ya 

And me, I was looking for love for so long then 

Only you came to me 

Direct from Steve's lyric sheet 

Felt like quitting 

The loss and the gain 

Hiding my eyes from a life going wrong 

Afraid to have to face the truth 

Falling apart since who knows when... 

'n all the comforting messages, ten by ten, 

They said the bottle'll bring eternal shame
