Love's Got A Lot To Answer For

Pull my coat around me

Feel the cold wind haunt me

Streets are empty just like me

The murmur of an echo

Seems to come from every window

Is loneliness the same as being free

I guess I must have been dreaming

To think that I believed in you at all

Now I just can't fight it

As the shadow of the night begins to fall

Love's got a lot to answer for

Oh I just can't sleep with this feeling anymore

Let the cold night air cool the heat

Of two hearts gone to war

For no matter who wins, in the end

Love's got a lot to answer for

All I need is darkness

The best of all protection

Freedom's like the stars in the sky

Alone and cold and burning

Each one keeps it's distance

If only we were stars, you and I
