[Verse 1]

We could have been lovers

An oasis in grey

You know that we need some part

Why didn't you say?

[Chorus]

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the dead-time

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the shade

[Verse 2]

You know that we need you

You know that we care

But your contribution

Is fragile and rare

[Chorus]

And we're lovers, lovers, lovers of the dead-time

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the shade

Lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the shade

[Bridge]

It'll take time to tell

Do you know what fell?

I'm going to sing to you

Ah, ah

[Verse 3]

We know that we're lovers

We know that we care

We show our attentions

We stripped it so bare

[Chorus]

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the dead-time

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the shade

Lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the shade

Lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers, lovers

Lovers, lovers, lovers of the shade
