Lyrics
Without You
Without you, I'm like the captain
of a ship without a sail.
Without you, I end up weaving
like a kite without a tail.
Like a horse without a rider,
like a siren in the night,
without you, my life is dreadful.
Without you, nothing is right.
Like a land that's been divided,
like a man who's lost his soul,
without you, I'm something evil.
Without you, I lose control.
Like a broken-hearted Judas
setting out to find a rope,
without you, I've got no future.
Without you, I've got no hope.
Please deliver me from evil
and forgive me of my sins.
If I make myself a vessel,
would you pour your love back in?
Like the sunshine in the morning,
like the calm after the storm,
with your love, I'm something special.
With your love, I am reborn.
