Love Is a Sign - The Go-Betweens

I’m ten feet under water

Standing in a sunken canoe

Looking up at the waterlillies

They’re green and violet blue

Still the sun it finds

A place to light me

Still the sun it finds

That it’s warm beside me

Green and violet blue

No matter what you say no matter what you do

I want to be the one and love is a sign

The letters that were writing

Baby they just break our hearts

And when we get back together again

There’s just no time to start

No time to restore

It’s all on the ground

What you’ve been doing

Against what I’ve found

And this is what I find

No matter what you say no matter what you do

I want to be the one and love is a sign

I’m not a playboy or a poet

There’s no cool water from the well

I wish you had a big house

And that your work would start to sell

Wave after wave

Our tension and our tenderness

Wave after wave

Our tension and our tenderness

Green and violet blue

No matter what you say no matter what you do

I want to be the one and love is a sign

I know I’ll see you again

The world is too big or too small

I won’t be the madman then

It will be me that’s come to call

Me in freezing weather

Snow cuffs on my wrist

You down by the river

London no longer exists

This is what I find

No matter what you say no matter what you do

I want to be the one and love is a sign
