Without Your Love - Michael Franks

Love’s so convincing when it begins

Righteous and real, but it soon deserts you

Before you know it you’ve reached the end

Honestly, I never meant to hurt you

The moment that I found you

I built my world around you

You changed your name and you became my home

And I called you my own

Our happiness seemed haunted

But you were all I wanted

No clouds could fade the love we made sublime

We were stronger than time

Time won in the end

Our love was too precious to pretend

Somehow I lost you

Without your love, will I ever be the same?

Will the spring arrive?

Will the rainbows chase the rain?

Without your love

We sailed through life together

Survived the raging weather

And then one day you came to say «good-bye»

And I never knew why

I prayed my heart could hide you

From all the storms inside you

The compass forced us way off-course somehow

And I never knew how

Wind won in the end

It wanted to break us, not to bend

And now I’ve lost you
