Graham Parker Next Phase lyrics

You have always struck a chord in me
One that resonates within like ancient chemistry
You have always rung the bell my love
Taken it upon yourself to lift my spirits high above

When I work you know it's just my job
Something that I do to pass the time
Before the next phase of our love
Before the next phase
Before the next phase of our love, hey, mm

You have always filled my empty cup
Laid the food upon my plate for me to eat it up

You have always flown a higher plane
Taken it upon yourself to drive the engine of my train
Into the next phase, to the next phase of our love, hey, mm

When I work you know it's just for pay
Something that I do to pass the time
Before the next time that you say
You'll be right there anyway for the next phase of our love, hey
For the next phase, mm, yeah
