The Waterboys Follow

Ain’t you hard to beat after all this time,
still standing on your feet somehow,
way beyond your prime?
Well, love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
You believe you were The One but it was only grace
and when your hour is done and somebody
takes your place
love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
Time, old Time, King Time is moving back and forth
like a backlit dancer on a pale white horse
On a mad racecourse in a hungry land
you will be forced to play your secret hand
and love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
Fate is driving like a vigilante through the crowd,
hot coals on his feet, bullets on his brow
Power will spit you out, grief will leave you stunned
A camera will pick you out, a thief will cock the gun
and love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
Love will shoot you down, will shoot you down
Time, old Time, King Time is moving back and forth
like a backlit dancer on a pale white horse
