Lyrics
I looked in the mirror this morning
and what did I see?
A broken spirit of a man
with a face like me
Who else could it be?
Lord,Who else could it be?
This love's enchantment
has sacrificed me
Crucified my emotions baby
while you were running free
Where is your love for me?
Darlin' tell me
Where is that love for me?
[chorus]
Where is that love
that's gonna rescue me?
Where's that love?
Where is that love
darlin' that's gonna set me free?
Please, Where's that love
for an old man like me?
I looked in the mirror this morning
but no more was it me
Just a face of a harlequin
that has taken me.
Oh it won't set me free
Lord, I know it won't let me be.
[chorus]
Where is that love
that's gonna rescue me?
Where's that love?
Where is that love
darlin' that's gonna set me free?
Please, Where's that love
for an old man like me?
Where is that love
that's gonna rescue me?
Please, Where's that love
for an old blues man like me?
Ain't got no money
Ain't got no girl
Ain't got jack
Oh I guess I'm just a lunatic
Guess I'll just get my blues guitar out and play it now
I'm beggin' ya baby
Tell where my love is baby
Tell where my love is baby
Tell me, I wanna know
Where my love is, yeah
Why you think I'm on my own?
Rip me right in two
Why you think I'm on my own?
