This Is Love Lyrics

 

This Is Love 
(Single from 'Strange Charm' album, 1986)

This is love
This is pain disguised as a dream
Memories
Are guaranteed to break your heart

Look at me
I woke up and found me alone
I wonder
If you'll ever think of me

I won't cry
Now you're gone
I won't cry
I should take your picture
From the wall
This is love
What's it for?
It takes everything

 



Survival 
(B-side, 'This Is Love', 1986)

*Instrumental*
