Everything But The Girl The Spice Of Life Lyrics

The Spice Of Life Lyrics

something has come between me and the world that knew 

what I thought wild last is falling apart in the face of something new 

how can I explain that I had no choice

the sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out my voice 

and I'm just too far away for her to believe what I say 

she couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anyway



how can I write a letter the post is so slow

if I'm to disappoint her then that's something she ought to know 

I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone

how can so much harm be done by just two minutes spent on the phone 

you say that things will get better

but she would hate me if I let her

and she reads so much in every word that I say



I thought that being apart would lust bring us some variety

but after some time it seems clear that she's changed in a different way from


me 

and I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame

it's just her it's just me and everything that is 

just not the same

sometimes I would turn back the clock 

and recapture all that we've lost 

but I couldn't give up all that we have today
