Love Is Swift Arrows Lyrics - Singles - Be-bop Deluxe

Room in the east invested with meanings 

Open to none but the strange and the wild 

Sunset encounters with destiny's chances 

Envelopes marked for the personal life 

Night falling, hiding the poets transgression 

Blown in the winds of Aquarian tides 

Echoed words spoken by token romantics 

Rock 'n' roll Supermen, ghosts of new vice 

Making love in strange autos whilst lifes ink 

Sings always that love is swift arrows, my dear 

Oh God, in some heaven whose number is seventeen 

Dressed you in blue jeans this year 

To torment my soul, oh, leave me alone 

Rules to be broken by reckless and young men 

Odes to be written by passions sick hand 

Seeds to be sown on the rich fields of promise 

Ends and beginnings that never quite meet 

Nothing of value that hasn't yet vanished 

Brown-eyed and wise as the feminine fates 

Evening's sweet menace, revealing, inviting 

Highways to paradise, gray lines of grace 

Making love in strange autos whilst lifes ink 

Sings always that love is swift arrows, my dear 

Oh God, in some heaven whose number is seventeen 

Dressed you in blue jeans this year 

To torment my soul, oh, leave me alone
