Love and pain and sorrow keep the band together 

She was like my soulmate 

Whispered in my ear 

Love was playing music 

It was all we wanted 

Making plastic records of our history 



How I knew it mattered 

To a certain person 

Heard the boy in London call out from the crowd 

Said something that I .. to me 10 years later 

Wishing that he still called 

Like he called that night 



Pulling songs from thin air 

Pulling songs from bridges 

Smell the air in small town 



Where the train line stops 

Ever will I love you 

Now your chapter's over 

Ever will I love you 

You were good to me 



Now our pain and memory 

is a cherished story 

Moan about the present 

then ... the past 

Love is like a novel 

Read the blessed pages 

Did I do my best dear? 

That is all you ask
