Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Persuasion

You and I, tempted by the promise of a different life

Time has fled, there's a constant battle

Running through my head

I don't know what to do 'cause I still believe

After all the foolish things you put me through

I could always make a start on something new

And I've always been a man who's open to

Persuasion

Blind romance, there'll be no half measures given half a chance

But we never learn, trusting in the fire while the cruel flame burns

And we need to rebuild what was never there

What got left behind

After all the foolish things that we've been through

I could always make a start on something new

And I'll always be a man who's open to

Persuasion

And it's written in my heart so that everybody can see it

And it's written in my soul, after all I still believe it

I still believe it, I still believe it

I still believe it, I still believe it

I don't know what to do 'cause I still believe

After all the foolish things you put me through

I could always make a start on something new

And I'll always be a man who's open to

Persuasion, persuasion, persuasion, persuasion

I still believe it

I still believe it persuasion

I still believe it, still believe it

I still believe it persuasion, persuasion
