Only Love

Only love makes killing time so cruel
The hours come and you drag them round with you
When she is gone the whole hang dark house aches
And you hum along to the sound of heartbreaks
You think you hear in every song
But only love will make you wait so long

For the little gifts that keep you holding on
A scribbled ring around the town she's staying in
The little dent in the bed you're laying in
The heady scent she leaves on you
But only love makes killing time so cruel

So many things that you must get round to
A dripping tap, a month's mail to sort through
If you could just get your mind to clear
But it's only love, and it keeps you waiting here
