David Luning You and Me and the Devil in Between lyrics

I was reaching out for you, you were reaching out for me
but only rarely would we ever hold hands
there would be nights when we'd drink liquor and make our way to bed
most mornings we'd awaken and regret the things that we had said

Well the flowers in the vase are all dead and brown
and dancing in the hallway is just a memory for us now , Oh Oh

Because there's you and me and the devil in between yes there's a devil in between you and me
and it's plain to see darling , we can never be there's a devil in between you and me, you and me

You wrote me letter once, explaining how you felt
Well it burned my eyes and it burned my throat cause it was the truth that I read
and I told I still loved you and you turned me and with a tear you simply said I know

Oh well the flowers in the vase are all dead and brown
and dancing in the hallway is just a memory for us now , oh oh

Because there's you and me and the devil in between
yes there's a devil in between you and me

and it's plain to see darling we can never be
there's a devil in between you and me , you and me

Oh oh oh, Oh oh, oh oh , Oh oh , Oh oh
Oh oh oh, Oh oh, Oh oh , Oh oh , Oh oh

We try and try we push and pull
Nothing we could say could make this devil fade away
We try and try we push and pull
Nothing we could say could make this devil fade away

Well the flowers in the vase are all dead and brown
and dancing in the hallway is just a memory for us now , oh oh

Because there's you and me and the devil in between
yes there's a devil in between you and me
you and me
