Slave To My Money

I'm a slave to my money, victim of addiction
Sometimes a decent person, other times I'm not
There are days when I'm happy, days my mind is cloudy
Times I feel in love and times I'm falling apart

But when I'm with you my darling everything is sunny
As we lay it's like the shores of glory, sins are washed by the rolling tide
When we can't be together I'm back in stormy weather
I feel just like a sinner and the world is crashing round

Oh, mistakes I have made them, sometimes over and over again
You think that I would learn just when enough is enough
It's the same old game and chase
It always seems to be the case
To long for what we don't have and forget the things we do

But when I'm with you my darling everything is sunny
As we lay it's like the shores of glory, sins are washed by the rolling tide
When we can't be together I'm back in stormy weather
I feel just like a sinner and the world is crashing round

Hold me close forever
Keep me safe from the storms I am in
There was a time when I was strong enough to hold my own
But that is done, it is done, it has been done

I have asked for too much or asked for none at all
Been close enough to touch the gates but always seem to fall
Is it all a twisted joke or are we all too serious
Is this fairy tale called happiness possible at all

But when I'm with you my darling everything is sunny
As we lay it's like the shores of glory, sins are washed by the rolling tide
