I've Been Losing You - a-ha Scoundrel Days 1986 Songwriter: Paul Waaktaar-Savoy ------------------------------------------------------ Image: Hubble Space Telescope/NASA, ESA, STScI Date: 10/11/2018 Spiral Galaxy Whirlpool M51 Constellation: Canes Venatici Distance: 31 million light-years ------------------------------------------------------ I'VE BEEN LOSING YOU It wasn't the rain that washed away Rinsed out the colours of your eyes Putting the gun down on the bedside table I must have realised It wasn't the rain that made no difference And I could have sworn it wasn't me Yet I did it all so coldly, almost slowly Plain for all to see Oh c'mon please now Talk to me Tell me things I could find helpful How can I stop now Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I've been losing you I can still hear our screams competing You're hissing your s's like a snake Now in the mirror stands Half a man I thought no one could break It wasn't the rain That made no difference Nervously drumming on: run away But I want the guilt to get me Thoughts to wreck me Preying on my mind So, please now Talk to me Tell me things I could find helpful For how can I stop now Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I've been losing you
