Song Lyrics

Well, I remember when we met
We were drinkin' whiskey neat
And you looked too long at me
But I didn't turn away

I saw a stranger in your eyes
In the cold, fluorescent light
And you've got those dingo eyes
And I couldn't turn away

Oh, I try on the dance floor
Yeah, I try to show you

Burn your candles bright
There's a darkness in this night
And maybe I'm just tired of walking alone

So I try up on this stage
Yeah, I try, I try to hold you

And what is love without you?
What is love without you?

Well, that silent river sings
To me all her lonesome hymns
And I take my seat against the bank
Watching the stars, Jupiter and Mars

And I didn't mean to fall asleep
But at the river, time does not keep
And I woke up in the front-row seat
Of the greatest show on Earth, for what it's worth
An empty purse is all you need
A birth of bees
Will I ever be what you are to me?

Oh, I try in my prayers
Oh, I try, I try to hear you

What is love without you?
What is love without you?

Tell me, what is love without you?
What is love?

And I remember when we met
I was drinking whiskey neat
And you looked too long at me
And I haven't turned away
