I know I've had you troubled
And I know I've seared your mind
But you know that I love you
And that our love's not blind
And sure, my dreams lie with you
But I've many more besides
And if I can't see them through
Our love will slowly die
So if you doubt for the time that you're spending
And if you doubt for the love in your heart
Think of London and the girl you're returning
And the days you defend will turn to gold
So love with your eyes
Love with your mind
Love with you
Dare I stay forever
Do it for yourself
Do it for the girl
Do it for you
Dare I stay forever
And I've known pious women
Who have led such secret lives
Shameless in the dark
So shameful in the light
And you may not be pious
And I may not be saved
But we could live quite happily
And quietly unfazed
So if you doubt for the time that you're spending
And if you doubt for the love in your heart
Think of London and the girl you're returning
And the days you defend will turn to gold
So love with your eyes
Love with your mind
Love with you
Dare I stay forever
Do it for yourself
Do it for the girl
Do it for you
Dare I stay forever
I was dreaming of the Liffey
I was thinking of the Thames
And now the east river flows by to the same end
Are we too sentimental to not look back and stare
So love with your eyes
Love with your mind
Love with you
Dare I stay forever
Do it for yourself
Do it for the girl
Do it for you
Dare I stay forever
