Quicksand Lyrics - Tim Buckley

Your sweet love is like a quicksand 

Pullin' me under and I wonder 

How deep does it go 

Oh, the sky is closin' up above me 

Every time you touch me 

I'm like a tiger now, prowlin' in the moonlight 

Sometimes love takes a funny turn around 

You can make a paradise out of flat champagne 

But once the party's started 

Tell me who can complain 

For love will find you 

Find you walkin' on the shore 

Inside the wind, it calls out to you 

A longing melody to end your lonely hours

To stay in love with love 

To live in love with love, with you 

I'm tellin' you love is like a quicksand 

Pullin' me under and I wonder 

How deep does it go 

Oh, you know the sky is closin' up above me 

Every time you touch me 

I'm like a tiger now, prowlin' in the moonlight 

Strangers in the street could be lovers if they met along 

But that's not the way this whole world is made upon 

My only prayer is some day to see it burn with love 

Oh it'll find you 

Find you walkin' on the shore 

Inside the wind it calls out to you 

A longing melody to end your lonely hours

To stay in love with love 

To live in love with love, with you 

Oh, quicksand, oh, quicksand 

I tell you quicksand lonely, pullin' me under 

Quicksand, pullin' me under
