lyrics

The devil came 'round my house last night
With a gift upon his shoulder
He said, 'Good things come to those who wait but you know you're getting older.
So what are you going to do, my child, wait for the fine things to come?
Or are you going to go out hard tonight, fire all your guns?'

He said, 'Memory is a powerful thing but it only hurts you if you let it in.
You come and ride by my side tonight, I know you'll live again.'
Oh what a fool I've been
The devil came by disguised as love tonight and I let him in

Well he took me walking on the shore where the moonlight hits the ocean
And he talked to me with his serpents tongue about his love and devotion
The ocean waved at me and said, 'Girl, turn on your heel and run'
And then that devil man took me by the hand and said, 'It's time for me to have my fun'

He said, 'Memory is a powerful thing but it only hurts you if you let it in.
You come and ride by my side tonight, I know you'll live again.'
Oh what a fool I've been
The devil came by disguised as love tonight and I let him in

So many years passed since that day and now I have my daughter
She's more beautiful than I ever was that's why my heart grows colder
She's angry at her mother, 'cos I won't let her walk upon the shore
And I said, 'I don't want that devil man 'round my house no more'

I said, 'Memory is a powerful thing, it can save your life if you let it in
I went walking with that man that night and I never lived again
Oh, I know you're hurting but if that devil man comes by disguised as love tonight
I said if that devil man comes by disguised as love tonight
I said if that devil man comes by disguised as love tonight
Draw your curtain'
