Lyrics

Something's gotten hold in my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down
Making me smile and making me frown
In a world that was war
I once lived in a time that was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart
Made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days
I wanna tell you now
Somethin' gotten hold of my hand
Draggin' my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, somethin' has invaded my night
Paintin' my sleep with a colour so bright
Changin' the grey, changin' the blue
Scarlet for me, scarlet for you
I've got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's makin' my heart sing
Oh, yeah
A smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the right time
Every hour, yeah, every day, yeah
You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah
And baby, yeah
And baby, yeah
Something's gotten hold of my hand
Draggin' my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, turning me down, hey
Making me smile, making me frown
In a world that was war
(In a world that was war)
I once lived in a time that was peace
With no trouble at all
But then you, you, you
You came my way
But then you came my way
And a feeling unknown shook my heart
And made me want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days, heh
I wanna tell you now
Somethin's gotten hold of my heart
Keepin' my soul and my senses apart
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changin' the grey, changin' the blue
Scarlet for me and scarlet for you
