Well, I hear it comin' I can feel it in my bones And it's weighin' heavy on me Like a sack full of stones And I see it in your eyes, baby Each time we meet And I sense somethin' movin' Underneath our feet Baby, our love is on the fault line And you're sayin' that the fault's mine I can't believe that you're so blind Can't believe, can't believe you've been stirrin' up an earthquake You've been cookin' up a heartbreak And I hope it ain't too late For our love, for our love Now there's a chilly wind a blowin' And it's whippin' up a gale Storm clouds are brewin' And I know it's gonna hail And I see it in your eyes, baby Each time we meet And sense somethin' movin' Underneath our feet Baby, our love is on the fault line And you're sayin' that the fault's mine I can't believe that you're so blind Can't believe, can't believe you've been stirrin' up an earthquake You've been cookin' up a heartbreak And I hope it ain't too late For our love, for our love I feel it in my bones, I see it in your eyes Comin' up behind, here it comes Hold on tight you've been stirrin' up an earthquake You've been cookin' up a heartbreak And I hope it ain't too late For our love, for our love Our love is on the fault line And you're sayin' that the fault's mine I can't believe that you're so blind Can't believe, can't believe you've been stirrin' up an earthquake You've been cookin' up a heartbreak And I hope it ain't too late For our love, for our love Our love is on the fault line And you're sayin' that the fault's mine I can't believe that you're so blind Can't believe, can't believe Our love is on the fault line And you're sayin' that the fault's mine I can't believe that you're so blind Can't believe, can't believe
