[Verse 1]
It was down at the Avalon
When our love was laid to kindness
It was lost in the backseat of
Our ever-growin' silence
I was walkin', waitin' for you
I was holding onto the room
[Refrain]
I was overcome
I was overcome
[Verse 2]
Better lies woulda stayed at my side
In the open arms of the highway
But I swore in the pale moonlight
I could see your face in the driveway
I was hopin' you were waitin' for me
I was hopin' I was open
[Refrain]
I was overcome
I was overcome
[Chorus]
How on Heaven and Earth
The more I love you thе more it hurts?
I run, save myself
I won't cry, but I know you will
You wеre not the better man
And I was not that kind
Younger than I've ever been
When you walked in my life
[Refrain]
I was overcome
I was overcome
[Chorus]
How on Heaven and Earth
The more I love you the more it hurts?
I run, save myself
I won't cry, but I know you will
You were not the better man
And I was not that kind
Younger than I've ever been
When you walked in my life
[Refrain]
I was overcome
I was overcome
