The Pogues
Curse of Love
[Verse 1]
I've seen those signs a million times, the chill that clouds your eyes
A light that shines black as a coal, deep down in the mind
And I'm hungry and I'm dying of thirst
Just suffering from a lover's curse
I'll turn to stone, let the rivers flow and wash me to the sea

[Refrain]
The curse of love is hanging over me

[Verse 2]
I've walked the line, stood by your side, I've kept you company
And all those times you felt like crying, I held you close to me
Now someone's new put a spell on you
All my worst dreams are coming true
I'll turn to stone, let the rivers flow and wash me to the sea

[Refrain]
The curse of love is hanging over me
The curse of love is hanging over me

[Bridge]
Around the tent, the storm was raging
The gypsy's eyes were wild and blazing
I should have listened when she said
You'd slip away from me
[Verse 3]
The bottle's empty, I've drunk it dry and still I feel the pain
Well, all we've had is lost now, like teardrops in the rain
The night is long, I'm tired and weary
But I don't know where this road will lead me
I'll turn to stone, let the rivers flow and wash me to the sea

[Refrain]
The curse of love is hanging over me
The curse of love is hanging over me
