Hall & Oates

Our love's grown older seems like its colder
Than the rock so which l carved your name
On down the road we walk in separate shadows
Now there's nowhere else to go
And when we read the book of time
We'll see that we were blind but tried to understand

War of words, no one survives
These words of war cut deep inside
War of words the truth, the lies
These words of war hurt more and more. ..more and more

I thought our love would never end like letters in the sand
Our passion's washed away and so the tide rolls in again
With the morning storm brings another cloudy day
It's getting harder day by day
To believe that we can stay together baby

War of words, no one survives
These words of war cut deep inside
War of words the truth, the lies
These words of war hurt more and more. ..more and more

I guess the dream that love has kept alive
Couldn't last forever though we tried...how we tried

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
