Love is sweet poison
All a bit classical.. Sheila saw this phrase on a bumper sticker in India and wondered what it meant. Here's my answer...
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
Am F C
Love is sweet poison
F C G7 Am
Each flowering must prelude an ego's demise
Am F C
Love is sweet poison
F C G7 Am
As the fast rising sun sweeps the moon from the skies.
F C G7 Am
For one to arise then the other must falter
F C G7 Am
For one to arise so the other decline
F C G7 Am
As cupid lets fly so perception will alter
Dm7 G7
Thoughts once so random slip slowly in line
Am F C
Love is sweet poison
Love is sweet poison
A moment's collision can erase the past
Love is sweet poison
No fear of derision the die has been cast
Coded by helix pretention it smashes
Singing its song to some primordial air
To rise like the phoenix away from the ashes
Off into heaven knows where
Love is sweet poison
Love is a sweet poison
Murders duty caste and creed
Love is a sweet poison
True love forever will never concede
For Love is sweet poison two lovers ascending
No longer the people they thought they would be
Their lives as they grow on increasingly blending
Exposed for the whole word to see.
Love is a sweet poison
