I remember, when we met
We were drinkin? whiskey, neat
And you looked too long at me
But I didn?t turn away
verse 1 - Part 2
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.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I try, on the dance floor
Yeah I try, to show you
verse 2
Burn your candles bright
There?s a darkness in this night
And maybe I?m just tired
Of walking alone
Pre-Chorus
So I try, up on this stage
Yeah I try, to hold you
What is love? Without you?
What is love? Without you?
verse 3 - Part 1
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
verse 3 - Part 2
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
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, yeah
Pre-Chorus
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?
Alternate version of verse 1 - Part 1
And I remember, when we met
I was drinkin? whiskey, neat
And you looked too long at me
And I haven?t turned away.
