No Greater Love

No Greater Love - New Model Army

There's storm clouds amassing

Over in the west up above the moor

The city shines in grey

Mills closing down on the valley floor

All you can do here

Is survive

Grit your teeth

And just stay alive

And never never

Understand

The young ones they dance

With fire in their hearts until the years go by

Till older defeated they stare in their beer

At closing time

No greater love

Could there ever be

Than what I feel for you

What you gave to me

You saved my life

From this

While kings are in their counting houses people just wait here in

Silent rows

They spat and they jeered

In a last desperate fear as they watched us go

Oh no remember how we turned and ran

Yeah

Heads into the wind running

Hand in hand

We laughed

Until

We cried

So many tears

Oh so many tears
