Just This Love

In your room filled with the smoke
Of your never ending cigarettes
The stench of whiskey on your breath
I wish I could say that I’ll remember everything you said today
But I know that I’ll forget
Yes, I’ll forget

And the sands of time like rivers of gold
Pour through your mind
Eyes as sad as only the widow knows
Skin as soft as a summer rose

‘Cause you and I have no regrets
There’s just this love
You search the earth for that pearl of truth
It’s just this love

So my tears on this empty wind
And my prayers and my sins
Like the silence on this wall
And the outlines burned into my soul

And I stand alone in your room for the very last time
And I’m not yet sure if I understand what I’m leaving behind

‘Cause you and I have no regrets
There’s just this love
You search the earth for that pearl of truth
It’s just this love
