Simple Minds

Your love’s like faith
Your love’s spite in your eyes from those battle days
There’s still one way
Abandoned now no matter what you say
Just one truth
Moving up to decide that’s your battle move
No one’s here
Some phantoms realised that’s your only fear
You’re sending me rockets
Fools circle again
More than I realised

You’re sending me rockets
Full circle again
Still sending me rockets

I could still cut through
A war machine with its missiles set on you
I still want you
Misty eyes clear to find another view

And still you’re sending me rockets
And I surrender again
No more will I feel this time

You’re sending me rockets
Fools circle again
Still sending me rockets
Fools circle again

Home sweet home
No idea of divides or where the peace has gone
No words to blame
Surrender leaves me in the dark again

You’re sending me rockets
Fools circle again
No matter how I plead this time

You’re sending me rockets
Fools circle again
More than I realised

You’re sending me rockets
You’re sending me rockets
Keep sending me rockets
Still sending me rockets
Fools circle again
