LOVE THEY SAID - PRS TUNE CODE: 8070597A

Recorded by LLG on “Chain Reaction” LP

'Oh! Love!' they said is 'King of Kings, and triumph his crown.

Earth fades in flame before his wings, and Sun and Moon bow down'.

But that, I knew, would never do; and heaven is all too high.

So whenever I meet a Queen, I said, I will not catch her eye.

'Oh! Love!' they said and 'Love !' they said 'The gift of love is this;

A crown of thorns about thy head and vinegar to thy kiss';

But tragedy is not for me; and I'm content to be gay.

So whenever I spied a tragic lady, I went another way.

And so I never feared to see you wander down the street,

or come across the fields to me on ordinary feet.

For what they never told me and what I never knew,

it was that all the time my love, love would be merely you.
