Now you’re gone
And it’s hotels and whiskey and sad luck days
And I don’t care if they miss me
I never remember their names read more »

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love,
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love,
Now now don't you see what your careless love has done.

Well you worried my mother till she died
And you caused my father to lose his mind.
Now damn you I'm goin' to shoot you, Lord, I'm gonna shoot you both right down,
I'm gonna spare no one of you child till you spin next dyin'.

Oh love, oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, oh love, oh careless love
Oh Lord, don't you see what, what your careless love has done.
Oh yeah.

Careless love now don't know see how you follow me down,
Careless love, don't you see how you follow me down.
Well, you robbed me out of my silver, Lord, and out of my gold
Ever since you been a-ridin' by side.

Oh love, oh love, oh careless,
Oh love, yes oh love, oh careless love.
Oh love, I said love, oh careless love now
Don't you see what your careless love has done, yeah. read more »

There is no time where we come from
There are no clouds that block the sun
There's here and now and what we feel
We have this moment and nothing else is real
Only me loving you loving me read more »

I can hear her heartbeat from a thousand miles
And the heavens open up every time she smiles
And when I come to her that is where I belong
And I’m running through her like a rivers song read more »

They say love is rather fragile
But I’ve found in you
A love of another kind. read more »

I talk to you
You walk away
You're still on the down beat
You say you don't want my help
But you can't escape
If your running from yourself

I give you my love
I give you my love
Give you my love
Still you walk away

It's your own late show
As you jump to the street below
But where can you go
To leave yourself behind
Alone in the spotlight
Of this, your own tragedy

I give you my love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love, love...

In the heart in the heart
In the heart of the city
Heart in the heart in
The heart of the city
Oh, love...
I pour my love out for you
And I'll bring you through
See your not alone

I give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, give you my love
Give you my love, love, love
Love, love, love, love, love... read more »

Ay, love don't love you
Hey, love, ah ha

Time rushes on
And it's not fair
When someone you used to love
Is no longer there
But I think it's time you know
See love is a society
Any fool can not belong
Cuz the minute you hurt love
Then it's over and done

Love don't love you anymore
No more, shoulda never done wrong
Love don't love you anymore
No, no

Love is a ride, up and down, yeah
You did what you did to love
And I betcha know now
Cuz there's no one else around
And now you're running back to me
To forgive you your mistake
Kinda makes me sad to say but
It's a little too late

Love don't love you anymore
No more, no more, no more, no more
Love don't love you anymore
And oh love, ooo, love
Love, love's not coming home
Ain't it hard to believe
Baby, baby, baby
Love, love's not coming home, hey

It seems to be that
You're the one
The one who did bad things to love
It's sad to see, so sad to tell
But now we'll never hear the bells

Love sure don't love you
Love sure don't want you
Love sure don't love you
Anymore, anymore
And it's a shame

Love sure don't love you
No it don't
Love sure don't want you
I know, I know
Love sure don't love you
Anymore, anymore

Love don't love you anymore
Love sure don't love you anymore, anymore
Love don't love you baby
Love, love you anymore
Love sure don't love you anymore, anymore

It's a shame that
Love don't love you baby
Love don't love you honey
Ain't it hard to believe
No, no, no, no
Love don't love you baby
Any love don't love ya honey

I remember the day that we met
I needed someone, you needed someone too, yeah
Spend time takin’ all you could get
Givin’ yourself was one thing you never could do
You played with my heart, played with my head
I got to laugh when I think of the things you said read more »
