Oh gracious love you were so kind to me
You only broke my heart
Let my arms and legs stay strong
So I could swim upon the open sea
Searching for another love
Floating along aimlessly
Oh where are you love
Tell me where are you love
I will wait for you another night
Cause I know you wont leave me behind
Oh where are you love
I had someone--a love I thought was true
But sometimes you just get tired
And you must try not to die
And give your love though no one may receive
You must build a giant fire
For the whole wide world to see
Oh where are you love
Oh where have you gone
I shall wait for you another night
And you know I wont leave you behind
Oh where are you love
So thank you love you were so kind to me
You put hope into my heart
Shined a light so I could see
Those wicked things--the wicked things you do
Well I pay them no mind
Cause I know youll be back in time
Oh where are you love
Tell me where are you love
I shall wait for you just one more night
Cause I know you wont leave me behind
Oh where are you love
