CAN'T THIS BE LOVE

How can you save yourself
when the walls come tumbling down
When your world is turning inside out
The story remains the same
but the names have all been changed
You're left out in the rain with nothing 

Every time you feel the tide has turned
& you think you're swimming for the shore
You realize the rivers gone
& now you're lost at sea drifting helplessly again 

Can't this be love that I'm feeling
I'd give my heart & soul to be with you
Can't this be love to last forever
As time rolls by the sky will still be blue
but you took the sun with you 

Now you're trying to move ahead
& leave the past behind
You say you won't be fooled again
But just when things start turning round
you're back where you belong
Love's stringing you along again 

(chorus)
