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
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
Behind the belief
That the world had stopped turning
