In the Back
of My Love

Thomas Riley Smith c.2022

In the back of my love there's a room
there's a room without a view,
where I'd keep my secrets if I had any
that I thought might still harm you.
but they're really very dusty
and they are all quite old,
and with or without words
they have all been told.
In the back of my love there's a room,
there's a room with out a view.

In the back of my love there's a
mirror with a very pretty frame,
that nobody else will see,
I guess you could say
it's a dog gone shame,
but it tells me everything
and Lord knows it will never lie,
now I take a closer look
and I see your smilin' eyes.
In the back of my love there's a
mirror with a very pretty frame.

back back, back of my love
back back, back of my love
back back, back of my love
back back, back of my love

Hey, what do you think I'm thinking,
what do you think I'm thinking?
Now that you know me better
than before I let you in.

In the back of my love there's
a fire with a rather gentle touch,
and it's pleased to keep on
burning 'cause it's happy that
you love me very much,
so it keeps me cozy
warm like I keep you,
sometimes it's red and
sometimes it's blue.
In the back of my love there's
a fire with a rather gentle touch.

back back, back of my love,
back back, back of my love,
back back, back of my love,
back back, back of my love,

In the back of my love
there's a band with that
Sunday gospel groove.
and they play a little harder
when we give thanks
for all the groovy things we get to do.
they never take a break
and they never lose their soul,
glory hallelujah let
the spirit take control.
In the back of my love

Sunday gospel groove.

back back, back of my love,
back back, back of my love,

back back, back of my love,
back back, back of my love.
