We know what love can do without
It grows upon a glance alone
A tired wink, a lean into
An ancient tale that’s ever new
The second time is sweeter still
We know what’s there and it can tear
As easily as once before
Dead hopes renewed to mock us more
We know what love can get into
You’re saying names I never knew
And I in places you’ve never been
A separate past but you’re my twin
Above all this we know it’s true
A memory that we can never lose
We know the time when we’re apart (When we’re apart)
Will loosen ties around our hearts (Ties on our hearts)
And leave our hurts to come undone (Will come undone)
Like flowers wilt before the sun (Before the sun)
We know what love can do without (We know a love)
A meddling lie, a flooded pout (We do without)
A wandering eye, a trust we sold (What can be sold)
A peace withheld, no hand to hold (We can not hold)
