Lyrics
LOVE HAS BROKEN DOWN Copyright D Hume 1994
Silent nights in separate beds
Words of love have long been said
They're wondering where the path has led
Love has broken down
No one else can take the blame
Feel the hurt, bear the shame
No one now can win the game
Love has broken down
CHORUS: In a sea of emptiness dreams will surely drown
When two hearts have broken up love has broken down
When the road ahead is clear
Cloudy skies won't interfere
If the future disappears
Love has broken down
CHORUS: Hopelessly in vain they will the tide to turn around
When two hearts have broken up love has broken down
BRIDGE; Who will be the villain, who will be the clown?
When two hearts have broken up, love has broken down
Can it go on every day
Leading lives in disarray
Must they go their separate ways?
Love has broken down
CHORUS: Memories of days gone by, the love they thought they'd found
When two hearts have had enough
When the magic spell's worn off
When two hearts have broken up love has broken down
