Slave To Love Lyrics by Jimmy Scott

Holding Back the Years

1998

[Verse 1]
Tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
And there's no escape
To need a women
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
[Chorus]
Slave to love
Slave to love
No, I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
[Verse 2]
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
[Verse 3]
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
[Chorus]
Slave to love
Slave to love
No, I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
Slave to love
Slave to love
No, I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
[Outro]
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
Slave to love
