Nancy Cunningham and Bill white - Senseless

from State of the Heart 3 by Bill White and Friends

lyrics

We were lovers without lovin
Prisoners of our senses
Our bodies interlocked
Inside passionate defenses
We shut out reality
Denied the things we could not see
Uniting the lives of you and me
Leaving us senseless

I came in through the servant's entrance
And saw you shucking corn
Reminded me of my old mamie
Who was there on the day i was born
There is no greater delusion
Than a belief in love at first sight
It can dull the shades of darkness
With its web of faded light

Well, yeah, you slunk in through the back door
Looked like you'd seen a ghost
Like I needed some new master
Like the least would get the most
There's no bigger decision
Than to give myself as wife
It could lessen the lonesome
'less it ruins my whole life

We were lovers without lovin
Prisoners of our senses
Our bodies interlocked
Inside passionate defenses
We shut out reality
Denied the things we could not see
Uniting the lives of you and me
Leaving us senseless

you talk about a ruined life
while my life lays in ruins
some day ill get the guts to leave
and ill live again amongst the humans
there are some kinds of loving
from which there's no road to repentence
marriage is more than just a word
with you it is a sentence

Don’t kid yourself you’ll never go
You’re too attached to moanin’
You eat my bread and drink me dry
You’ll never leave off groanin’
Some day I will be shed of you
Though when is hard to tell
If I thought you’d get to heaven
I’d send myself to hell


Well... lovers without lovin
And prisoners of our senses
Our bodies interlocked
Inside passionate defenses
We shut out reality
Denied the things we could not see
Uniting the lives of you and me
Leaving us senseless
