Only Love Only love makes killing time so cruel The hours come and you drag them round with you When she is gone the whole hang dark house aches And you hum along to the sound of heartbreaks You think you hear in every song But only love will make you wait so long For the little gifts that keep you holding on A scribbled ring around the town she's staying in The little dent in the bed you're laying in The heady scent she leaves on you But only love makes killing time so cruel So many things that you must get round to A dripping tap, a month's mail to sort through If you could just get your mind to clear But it's only love, and it keeps you waiting here
