But For Love

So it’s raining again and the wind’s up in a roar

I’ve been swept through the streets to be washed up at your door

But you’re with him I know so I’ll crawl back later on

Why do I need you so but for love I’d be gone

With my back to the wind I’m wondering what it is about you

That makes it so hard to stay and harder yet to live without you

So I’ll look all around but there’s nothing here for me

Like a prisoner I’m bound but for you I’d be free

But for you I’d be on a jet leaving today

For a place in the sun far away

But the rain still comes down

And the chilly winds keep blowing

Down these cold empty streets I’m wondering what keeps me going

So I say to myself why do you linger on

And my heart cries to me but for love I’d be gone

But for love I’d be gone
