Love is the only thing that matters
love is the only thing that's real
I know we hear this everyday
it's still the hardest thing to feel

this time,
when I go back to Ludlow street
I find each stoop and doorway's incompleet
without you there

another generation parties
and it is still the same old scene
I can recall each morning after
painted in nicotine

this time,
when I go back to Ludlow street
I find each stoop and doorway's incompleet
without you there

love is the only thing that matters
love is the only thing that's real
and when I think about you now
love is the only thing I feel

Tim, this time
when I go back to Ludlow street
I find each stoop and doorway's incompleet
without you there
