Soul Love

David Bowie · Deluxe Ziggy Stardust [1990]

Stone love - she kneels before the grave

A brave son - who gave his life to see the slogan

That hovers between the headstone and her eyes

For they penetrate her grieving



New love - a boy and girl are talking

New words - that only they can share in

New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts

To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning



Love is careless in it's choosing - sweeping over 'cross a baby

Love descends on those defenseless

Idiot love will spark the fusion

Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove

All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving



Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and

Told of love - and how my God on high is

All love - though reaching up my loneliness evolves

By the blindness that surrounds him



Love is careless in it's choosing - sweeping over 'cross a baby

Love descends on those defenseless

Idiot love will spark the fusion

Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove

All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving
