Lyrics
Must have been love But it’s over now
Lay a whisper on my pillow Leave the winter on the ground I wake up lonely, this air of silence In the bedroom and all around
Touch me now, I close my eyes And dream away
It must have been love, but it’s over now It must have been good, but I lost it somehow It must have been love, but it’s over now From the moment we touched, ’til the time had run out
Make-believing we’re together That I’m sheltered by your heart But in and outside I turn to water Like a teardrop in your palm And it’s a hard winter’s day I dream away
It must have been love, but it’s over now It was all that I wanted, now I’m living without It must have been love, but it’s over now It’s where the water flows It’s where the wind blows
It must have been love, but it’s over now It must have been good, but I lost it somehow It must have been love, but it’s over now From the moment we touched, ’til the time had run out
Yeah, it must have been love, but it’s over now It was all that I wanted, now I’m living without It must have been love, but it’s over now It’s where the water flows It’s where the wind blows
but it’s over now No, no, no (It must have been love) (But it’s over now) but it’s over now No, no, no
