Caedmon's Call lyrics - Love Alone

album: Long Line of Leavers (2000)

No one would love me 
if they knew all the things I hide 
My words fall to the floor 
As tears drip through 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 an ark that they need 
To float to you upon the crystal sea 

*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 robe 
So swing your rope down low 
Swing your rope down low 

The prince of despair's been beaten 
But the loser still fights 
Death's on a long leash 
Stealing my friends to the night 

And everyone cries for the innocent
You say to love the guilty too 
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness
So I'm working tearing back the roof 

Repeat *

And the pain of the world is a burden 
And it's my cross to bear 
And I stumble under all the weight
I know you're Simon standing there 
And I know you're standing there
