Love In A Foreign Place

Gossip · A Joyful Noise [2012]

I put my make up on and

Head for the other side of town

Put my dress from the night before

They ring the countdown

Outside a sea, of people forming

Walking after work this morning

They look right through me as I'm passing by

Not even so much as an evil eye



The city speaks to you

So much to live for, so much to lose

The end is coming, beginning is here

Anything you look for, you'll find it here



I felt love in a foreign place

I could stay forever

It's my time, it's now or never



I've been so many places

Nowhere could ever tie me down

All I ever wanted was so much more

Than life in a small town

I find it hard to hide my feelings

Looking out to ancient buildings

Looking down on me towering above

Time was standing still as we fell in love



The city speaks to you

So much to live for, so much to lose

The end is coming, beginning is here

Anything you look for, you'll find it here



I felt love in a foreign place

I could stay forever

It's my time, it's now or never

I fell in love like the world was ending

Not getting younger

I feel life, taking over



So much to live for, so much to lose

So much to live for, so much to lose



I've been so many places

Nowhere could ever tie me down

All I ever wanted was so much more

Than life in a small town



I felt love in a foreign place

I could stay forever

It's my time, it's now or never

I fell in love like the world was ending

Not getting younger

I feel life, taking over.
