Love Alone

Love Alone - Caedmon's Call

No one would love me

If they knew all the things I hide

My words fall to the floor

As tears drip through the telephone line

And the hands I've seen raised to the sky

And not waving but drowning all this time

I'll try to build the ark that they need

To float to You upon the crystal sea

Give me Your hand to hold

'Cause I can't stand to love alone

And love alone is not enough to hold us up

We've got to touch Your robe

So swing Your rope down low

Swing Your rope down low

The prince of despairs been beaten Lord

But the loser still fights

Death's on a long leash

Stealing my friends to the night

And everyone cries for innocent

You say to love the guilty too

And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness

So I'm working tearing back the roof

Give me Your hand to hold

'Cause I can't stand to love alone

And love alone is not enough to hold us up

We've got to touch Your robe

So swing Your rope down low

Swing Your rope down low

And the pain of the world is a burden

And it's my cross to bear

And I stumble under all the weight

I know You're Simon standing there

And I know You're standing there

Give me Your hand to hold

'Cause I can't stand to love alone

And love alone is not enough to hold us up

We've got to touch Your robe

So swing Your rope down low

Swing Your rope down low
