But For Love

BUT FOR LOVE

                                          So it's raining again
                                          And the winds have been a-blowin';
                                          I've been swept through the streets...
                                          To be washed up at your door...
                                          But you're with him I know -
                                          So I'll call 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 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 gone;
                                           A jet leavin' today...
                                           For a place in the sun,
                                           Far away......

                                           But the rain still comes down;
                                           And the chilly wind keeps 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.............
