Love Alone Songtext
von 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
