What A Love Is For
(Carus Thompson)
When the lights streaming through your window babe,
On the ground where I could just fall,
I’ll be stumbling down the street babe,
Knocking on your door.
That’s what a lover is for.
Maybe I drank too much again last night,
Maybe I’m coming down from the drugs that lie,
Need to know what I’m worth by,
Am I worthy of your smile?
Can I steal some time?
Sometimes this life gets too much
Sometimes I feel like I’m crackin up
That’s when I need the human touch
The touch of your hand,
A lover that understands.
Remember when I took that trip to the river babe
Stood on the sand and stared at the still breeze
Went stumbling down backstreets babe
So you could sooth me sane.
Teach me the way.
Sometimes this life gets too much
Sometimes I feel like I’m crackin up
That’s when I need the human touch
The touch of your hand,
A lover that understands.
And I float, to cities babe
And I’ve crossed seas and mountains played.
And I’ve kissed angels, in my dreams
But a lover’s only ease, is a lover to please.
Watch me when I walk
When I’m dirty make me clean
Hold me through the truth and lies and all and everything in between
And if I fall from the grapevine but into your arms.
Babe, I won’t feel it.
For your love is real.
And you can heal me.
