In Spite of Love

                                  (G.Stapleton)



I keep a picture of you on my wall

Exactly why it's there I can't recall

I think I keep it to remind myself



That what we had was never very clear

I often wondered what it was I feared

But now I hardly think of you at all



Oh no but I climbed the walls

And kept alive

In spite of love

There was no reflection

The sun it was hidden

Behind the belief

That the world had stopped turning



And when the lovers meet as lovers do

These days I rarely even think of you

I turn the TV off and go to bed



Oh no but I climbed the walls

And kept alive

In spite of love

The summer was colder

By half than the winter

And only the calendar

Called it a liar



Oh no but I climbed the walls

And kept alive

In spite of love

There was no reflection

The sun it was hidden

Behind the belief

That the world had stopped turning
