How can I go on
Dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Every time it turns to spring
I think of you again
And how I long to fly
Fly free
I'm standing at the edge of something beautiful
But it hurts to try
I'm scared it won't arrive
Love everlasting
But the dawn is breaking
But it's yours for taking
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Oh
Umm humm oh
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Umm
Oh
I don't want to surrender
But that's when I can commend this thing
There always comes this sweet hello
And I feel way too far
On the edge of something beautiful
I never realized
Just how to separate the two
Fantasy from truth
And running into you
Then all of the reasons keep flashing before me
But I can't do
And I thought I was through
The feeling was done
The battle was over
It's not over
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Oh
Is it crazy I thought I could win
Oh
I'm losing the battle of the heart
Oh
Oh

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
