It's Love from Whalebone by Marc Douglas Berardo

A shaft of light on the bedroom wall gives me hope
A breeze through open windows on this early summer morning helps me cope
I have ridden your back roads and
waltz across your floor
I have stood at your bar until I could not stand anymore
Now I can hear the fog horn blowing
outside my front door
And I know it's love, love is all that I am living for

Now I am hanging on by a thinning , frayed thread
Lately things are slipping away from me and I have been living inside my head
My boat is taking on water and it is
slowly sinking down
believe me, right now I am thankful that
what is left of this boat is still around
I see you waving and calling me back to shore
right now love, Love is all I am living for.

Now I am easily distracted and my moods come and go like the tide
I thought the character I’d invented was perfect but there were flaws that I could not hide
I try to leave everyone laughing and singing
and feeling alive
but the truth is when the music stops
I don’t always feel good inside
When I ran out of what I thought I needed I just went looking for more
But now it is love, love that I am living for
---------------------
So if I am to start again, I am to get back home
I will have to loose this crutch and roll away the stone

No more empty, no more lies
Just the love love love in your eyes….
All that matters, all that survives
Is the love love love in your eyes

The past is gone and I don’t know what the future holds in store
So right now, love is all I am living for
