Love and pain and sorrow
Keep the band together
She was like my soul mate
Whispered in my ear

Love was playing music
It was all we wanted
Making plastic records
Of our history

How I knew it mattered
To a certain person
Heard the boy in London
Called out from the crowd

Said something that I could
Tell me 10 years later
Wishing that he still called
Like he called that night

Pulling songs from thin air
Pulling songs from bridges
Smell the air in small town
Where the drain life starts?

Ever will I love you
Now your chapter's over
Ever will I love you
You were good to me

Now a planted memory
Is a cherished story
Moan about the present
And arrayed the past

Love is like a novel
Read the blessed pages
Did I do my best, dear?
That is all you ask
