What Is Love

I remember when we met

We were drinking whisky neat

And and you looked too long at me

But I didn't turn away

I saw a stranger in your eyes

In the cold, fluorescent light

And you've got those dingle eyes

And I couldn't turn away

Oh I try on the dance floor

Yeah I try to show you

Burn your candle bright

There's a darkness in this night

And maybe I'm just tired

Of walking alone

So I try upon this stage

Yeah I try, I try to hold you

What is love without you?

What is love without you?

Oh, that silent river sings

To me all her lonesome hymns

And I take my seat against the bank

Watching the stars, Jupiter and Mars

And I didn't mean to fall asleep

And at the river, time does not keep

And I woke up in the front row seat

The greatest show on Earth, for what it's worth

An empty purse is all you need

A birth of bees, will I ever be, what you are are to me?

Oh, I try in my prayers

Oh I try, I try to hear you

What is love without you?

What is love without you?

Tell me, what is love without you?

What is love?

And I remember when we met

I was drinking whisky neat

And you looked too long at me

And I haven't turned away
