Love Alone

no one will love me if they knew all the things i hide
My words fell to the floor as tears drip to the telephone line

And the hands I've seen raised to the sky
not waving but drowning all this time
I'll try to build the ark that they need
To float to you upon the crystal sea

(Chorus)

Give me your hand to hold
Cause I can't stand to love alone
And love alone is not enough to hold us up,
We've got to touch your rope
So swing your rope down low
Swing your rope down low

Prince of despair's been beaten, you know
but the losers still fight
death's on a long leash stealing
my friends to the night

And everyone cries for innocence
But you say to love the guilty too
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof
(repeat chorus)

And the pain of the world is a burden
And its my cross to bear
And I stumble under all the weight
I know your Simon standing there
And I know you're standing there
(repeat chorus)
