Love Is Pain

I see the winter in her eyes
As I turn to go
See the pain on her face
A frozen rose

With the toss of her hair
And the bite of her lip
She'll ask me so shy
"Anything left to say?"

And I say
"No, no baby, not this time
Again-
This time it's over
You've got to learn"

Now, darlin' love is cruel
Darlin' love is blind
Love is pain
So cry
Shed a tear today
Shed a tear my baby
Love is pain

I see our love out of reach
Arms intwined with lies
What shattered the night
Still haunts me in the rain

Now you're lost child, lost
Like a ship on the storm
Your distant eyes
Are shadows of others I've known

I Love you
Love is pain
