I sing songs for people I can't have People I meet once and never see again It is for me a kind of loving A kind of loving for me I make words for people I've not met Those who will not turn to follow after me It is for me a kind of loving A kind of loving for me It is for love that I live all alone Because the lovers I imagine Are safer than the ones I've known I make rhymes for people that won't hear Some who will not turn their faces to meet mine It is for me a kind of loving A kind of loving for me It is for love that I live all alone Because the lovers I imagine Are safer than the ones I've known
