Love Is A Catastrophe

Love is a catastrophe
Look what it's done to me
Brought me down here so low
Stranded, nowhere to go

No concentration
Just rerunning conversation
Trying to understand
How I fell into this quicksand

What happens next?
With life I'm unimpressed
Pain like a cutter's knife
Never been lonelier in my life

Who issued the instruction
For this mad act of destruction?
An end to equilibrium
Fate laughs, look what we've done to him

High wind through the trees
Falling November leaves
A weak sun hanging low
Summer seems so long ago

All my former dreams
Tender romantic schemes
Revealed as so naive
To think I could believe

In love as the kindest law
Not as a declaration of war
On my life and sanity
Now I know at last for me
Love is a catastrophe
