Love Slave

Love slave Vs 1 I know now I'm her prisoner... Don't want- or need- a deliverer... I don't care people say- that I should make my escape There's a strange allure- being shackled.... to the pain Bridge 1 She's the only love-only love-only love...I've known She's held me bound-held me bound-held me bound... til now Chorus Every move of mine- depends on gravity, her moon controls my tides... I rave like a lunatic when she's gone, I break all the hands of time As night slays the day.... I'M HER....LOVE SLAVE.... YEAH YEAH, I'M HER... LOVE SLAVE Bridge 2 It may be cold and dank in this prison... When she comes 'round light breaks in her prism Bridge 1 She's the only love-only love-only love...I've known She's held me bound-held me bound-held me bound... til now Bridge 3 Ooh, Ooh, she makes me come...alive Ooh, Ooh, she gives hope...that we'll survive Bridge 1 She's the only love-only love-only love...I've known She's held me bound-held me bound-held me bound... til now Chorus Every move of mine- depends on gravity, her moon controls my tides I rave like a lunatic when she's gone, I break all the hands of time... As night slays the day.... I'M HER....LOVE SLAVE.... YEAH YEAH, I'M HER... LOVE SLAVE As night slays the day.... I'M HER....LOVE SLAVE.... YEAH - YEAH, I'M HER... LOVE SLAVE repeat and fade July 05,2019 John Derek Hamilton

Wow I loved the lyrics. There seems to be a clashing between rhythm and meaning which I love. "Every move of mine depends on gravity, her moon controls my tides" Amazing!!

Love slave, indeed! The depth and breadth of the passionate artistry and the metaphorical beauty of your amorous lyric is simply stunning, John. ‘I break all the hands of time... As night slays the day...’ superb and fiery, as is every other masterful and emotional line in your hot-blooded song. Brilliant writing my talented friend and a big fav! Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
