Without This Love ...

[Verse 1] Let's say our farewell, to that love we know The one without which we cannot go It isn't easy, no it isn't light To come back home, yet homeless in the night [Verse 2] The boulevard sleeps after the long day Weary sidewalks empty where we stay Arm in arm I walk with winter's early chill Gathering my feelings, bending to its will [Chorus] Further and further, backwards I retreat Footsteps remain behind me in the street Poorer than a beggar, richer than a king I walk and give out hope to everything [Verse 3] Let's say our farewell, to that love we need The one without which hearts can never feed It isn't easy, no it isn't right To find your home, yet be homeless in the night [Chorus] Further and further, backwards I retreat Footsteps remain behind me in the street Poorer than a beggar, richer than a queen I walk and give out hope to everything [Bridge] I gather and I give, I don't count anymore My meetings in this city, million souls and more I walk to search in you for love's embrace The love without which we cannot find our place [Outro] I gather and I give, I don't count the cost My meetings in this city of the found and lost I walk to search in you for love's sweet name The love without which we cannot stay the same Without which we cannot The love without which we cannot breathe The love without which we cannot believe Without which we cannot
