Quicksand


Your sweet love is like a quicksand,
Pullin' me under
And I wonder
How deep does it go

You know the sky is closin' up above me,
Everytime you touch me woman,
I'm like a tiger
Prowlin' in the moonlight

Quicksand
Quicksand pullin' me under

Sometimes love takes a funny turn around
Can make a paradise out of flat champagne
But once the party's started
Tell me who can complain

Quicksand
Quicksand pullin' me under

Love will find you
Find you walkin' on the shore,
Inside the wind
It calls out to you
A longing melody
Pledges my soul to love
To live in love for love,
To stay in love for love alone

I'm tellin' you love is like quicksand,
Pullin' me under
And I wonder
How deep does it go

Quicksand
Quicksand pullin' me under
