But For Love

So it's rainin' 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 leavin' 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
