Ain't No Love

                                  Maybe that it would do me good

If I believed there were a god

Cut in the starry firmament

But as it is that's just a lie

And I'm here eating up the boredom

On an island of cement

Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it

Open window and I'll steal it

Baby like it's heaven sent



This ain't no love that's guiding me



Some days I'm bursting at the seams

With all my half remembered dreams

And then it shoots me down again

I feel the dampness as it creeps

I hear you coughing in your sleep

Beneath a broken window pane

Tomorrow girl I'll buy you chips

A lollipop to stain your lips

And it'll all be right as rain



This ain't no love that's guiding me

This ain't no love that's guiding me



No it ain't no love guiding me

No it ain't no love guiding me

No it ain't no love guiding me



This ain't no love that's guiding me

This ain't no love that's guiding me



On winter trees the fruit of rain

Is hanging trembling in the branches

Like a thousand diamond buds

And waiting there in every pause

That old familiar fear that claws you

Tells you nothing ain't no good

Then pulling back you see it all

Down here so laughable and small

Hardly a quiver in the dirt



This ain't no love that's guiding me
