Lyrics Love Without Violins - Brian Eno , The Gift

It's hard to see
You done your dirt away from me
You won't hide that away from me
It's hard to see
You done your little ways for me
You must give every day unto me
You're gonna get my eyes, not me

You have to see
You don't keep that away from me
You're living every day for me
Your pleasure is to give to me

Hey, you fool!
You give it all away to me
You'll never get the time for me
You'll never get the chance of me
You may not have the taste to see
You have not changed the world for me

For everything you do for me
I'm everything you hope to be
And everything you hope to see
You know you don't exist for me

Seems so hard on you but you agree (see, see)
Seems so hard on you but you agree (see, see)
See, see, don't keep it away from me
Seems so hard on you but you agree

Outside of these walls, there's a Babel of righteousness
Talking about it as though it's some kind of a sin
It's just love without violins

If love is a role and your private theatre
It's better to follow the casting director's whims
It's just love without violins

I'm out in the stars and my pockets are empty
I'm here in her hand and my heart is a tambourine
It's just love without violins

It's just love without violins
It's just love without violins
