"The Day That I Give In" lyrics - RICHARD THOMPSON

Everybody tells me it's a shame
I love in vain
Everybody tells me that they're there
To hold, to love, to share
I can't help it
I know this one ends badly
How can I tear my skin
O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In

Every time I see you I go weak
It's a losing streak
Every time I see you there's a spark
That lights the dark
But you don't want me
You think I'm something tainted
Like I'm some mortal sin
O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In

Every day I'm moving in a mist
My home-made bliss
Every day I'm floating on a tide
Of dreams, and hope, and pride
But I can't hold on
When the dream must end
I know the darkness begins
O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In
O the flood I'll cry
The Day That I Give In
Everybody tells me it's a shame
I love in vain
