Eleni Mandell - Love Never Acted lyrics

rate me

You belong to the ages

Though no one knows who you are

You’ve given no speeches, nor won any wars

You aren’t a diplomat settling scores

But I could never forget you

I’ll write your name next to mine

We’ll go down in history for nothing at all

But a love never acted upon

I belong to the city

I’ll never live by the shore

I like bourbon on ice every now and again

And I hope you partake so this friendship could end

But you never elect to

You shake hands hello and goodbye

Yes, we’ll go down in history for nothing at all

But a love never acted upon

I’m not suggesting that it would feel natural

Holding your hand or a kiss on your mouth

But I can’t help wondering with every flirtation

What is it you want? What’s this friendship about?

You belong to the sages

They predicted you’d never want more

You’d settle for years being careful and boring

Never taking a change, it’s your heart you’re ignoring

But I will never forget you

I’ve written your name next to mine

Yes, we’ll go down history for nothing at all

But a love never acted upon
