Lyrics

Love Breaks Down

Two sides fought for God above

More hate rose to the sea of love

A woman taught of a decent life

A million stars on a heat filled night

The nuclear threat hangs on our head

Two world wars and untold dead

Oh, oh

Love breaks down

Love breaks down

More lightening and the storm is on us

It seems a river should shed a tear

There's more talking and the waiting's over

Can you feel it? Hate pours on me

Oh, oh

Love breaks down

Love breaks down

Love breaks down

Love breaks down

Love breaks down, love breaks down

Love breaks down

Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

Love breaks down

Love, love
