Can You Believe

Strawbs - Can You Believe



You and I spoke in confidence

About the turning of the years

We both told stories that could break a heart

We brushed aside our tears



You spoke of one desire

I turned away to go

You spoke to me of solitude

Did you really know

Can you believe the words of love?



You and I spoke of tenderness

In a world filled with rage

We spoke at length of our uncertainty

And tomorrow's headline page



Seven hills to the city

Another space, another time

We were deep in conversation

In a vacant state of mind

Can you believe the words of love?



A second in a lifetime

A time for letting go

A painting in the manner Of Michelangelo

You and I spoke of innocence

There are victims of this crime

We both believed in our sincerity

I am taken back in time



The calling of the ocean

The movement of the sand

I could see my dreams forever

Running slowly through my hand

Can you believe the words of love?
