BUT STILL

CHORUS:
I know in your heart you're holding me close
But still you're so far away
And I know in your eyes I'll find only love,
But still I can't see you today

You say there's a way to carry on
But still it's such a heavy load
Can we pack up our feelings and put them on our backs
And trudge on down that long icy road?

REPEAT CHORUS

I won't freeze or roam like an abandoned stray
But I'm cold and hungry and alone
We can talk anytime until we kiss again
But I want a lover not a telephone

REPEAT CHORUS

New headlines appear in the daily news,
But my tears are dripping just the same
Splashing in my coffee to start the day
You are the reason, but you know you are not to blame

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
