In Between

IF I SAID “I LOVE YOU”
AND YOU KNEW IT TRUE
COULD IT BE
YOU’D CLEAVE TO ME
TO SEE THIS TROUBLE THROUGH

I LOVED YOU IN THE MORNING
I LOVED YOU LATE AT NIGHT
BUT IN BETWEEN
IT SEEMS TO ME
THERE’S A DARK AND FAILING LIGHT

IF YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME
AND YOUR EYES SAID IT TOO
WOULD THAT BE
ENOUGH THAT WE
COULD SEE THIS TROUBLE THROUGH

YOU LOVED ME IN THE MORNING
YOU LOVED ME LATE AT NIGHT
BUT IN BETWEEN
IT SEEMS TO ME
THERE’S A DARK AND FAILING LIGHT

THERE IS SILENCE AT THE TABLE
THERE IS QUIET IN THE HALL
LOVE ITSELF IS SILENCED
SINCE TROUBLE'S COME TO CALL

WE HAVE LOVE IN THE MORNING
WE HAVE LOVE LATE AT NIGHT
BUT IN BETWEEN IT SEEMS TO ME
THERE’S A DARK AND FAILING LIGHT
