Come Live With Me Lyrics by Heaven 17

The Luxury Gap

1981

[Verse 1]
I was thirty-seven, you were seventeen
You were half my age, the youth I'd never seen
Unlikely people meeting in a dream
Heaven only knows the way it should have been
[Chorus]
Here today my tomorrow
Where you lead I will follow
All that kissing, no passion missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
[Verse 2]
Dinner parties followed and all my age implies
My friends began to talk, I began to realize
If half the things they say are quarter true of me
Then how can I eclipse the youth you gave to set me free?
There was something in your smile
That was hard to reconcile
The time had come to testify to reason
Though years will not erase
Remembrance of those days
At least there's no submission to heart's treason
[Chorus]
Here today my tomorrow
No more shame, only sorrow
All that kissing, there's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
[Verse 3]
Now there's nothing left to cry for and there's nowhere left to go
Just another hopeless fight but how were we to know
The strong are sometimes wrong but the weak are never free
The choice we made we can't evade, don't try to follow me
[Chorus]
Here today my tomorrow
No more shame, only sorrow
All that kissing, there's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
[Outro]
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
