lyrics

I had time but I hadn't any love.
My thoughts they were my own and my heart belonged to no one.
Then you came along
And brought with you some love.
And I forgot what it was to be alone.

So when you moved away--You said, 'to find your place'--
I couldn't hear more than 'There ain't no room for you.'
And so it was and there I was and do we inevitably always end back at one?
Is it how we learn? Is it how I know that to be alone is to be strong?
To be strong.

Now I got time but I ain't got no love.
My thoughts are still with you and I haven't been able to breathe in so long.
But someday another will come and bring with her sweet love and I'll forget what it is to be alone.
