lyrics

Is there a place where the grass will grow?
Is there a place where my love will flow?
Is there a place where we can grow old?
And is it a place that I know?

You like to find all the puzzles to read
I’m the centre, the surface, to all your reasoning
Now you’ve thrown me the line of a world I can’t reach
I heard you cry in the night when you couldn’t sleep

But you don’t really have to find love if it makes you feel this way
You don’t really have to find love if it makes you shiver and shake
Now you’re bitter and cold 'cause we left it this way
And love is the loneliest place

Oh love, I can’t give you reasons
Reasons for you to adore
You put your heart in the winter though spring would give you more

You’re tied up in the timing
Too scared to unravel it all
Though I know that you know what’s written at the core

And you don’t really have to find love if it makes you feel this way
Oh, you don’t really have to find love if it makes you shiver and shake
Now you’re bitter and cold 'cause we left it this way
And love is the loneliest place
Oh, love is the loneliest place

And you don’t really have to find love if it makes you feel this way
Oh, you don’t really have to find love if it makes you shiver and shake
Now the glitter is gone, I can see it in your face
That love is the loneliest place

Oh, love is the loneliest place
