Lyrics Tim Buckley

Tim Buckley

Quicksand

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
