If Love is the Law lyrics
by Paul Weller
[Verse 1]
Here am I, I’m high up on a ledge
I’m standing on the edge of night
In a lonesome town, where love has been and gone
I’m waiting for the storm to come back
And take me down, the things I left unsaid
Were lying on the bed
Right next to the face you wore when you left me on my one
Now I’m up here on my own
And I must say
[Chorus]
I didn’t come here to make up your mind
But, I do believe that you were wasting my time
There’s no more tears left to cry myself blind
If love is the law, then this is a crime
[Verse 2]
Memories, forever set in stone
When all is said and done
They’re just like the fallen leaves that you gather in your head
When the sun’s about to set
I sail out on stormy seas, but I cannot find the shore
Can’t hear you anymore
And there’s nothing left for me, I'm lying broken on the glass
And the ship’s about to crash
And I must say
[Chorus]
I didn’t come here to make up your mind
But, I do believe that you were wasting my time
There’s no more tears left to cry myself blind
If love is the law, then this is a crime
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I didn’t come here to make up your mind
But, I do believe that you were wasting my time
There’s no more tears left to cry myself blind
If love is the law, then this is a crime
I didn’t come here to make up your mind
But, I do believe that you were wasting my time
There’s no more tears left to cry myself blind
If love is the law, then this is a crime
