What It Costs

(album: The Edge Of The Earth - 2014)

Sunlight fading fast, make it last
Like a flame flickers, then it's passed
Moonlight fades to dark, carry on
You never know what's real until it's gone

But love deals the currency of life
Don't ever forget what it costs

Hold on to me, carry me through
Our story is the pain that we outgrew
Yeah, you can't call it love until you've lost
If you love someone this is what it cost

This city cries softly tonight
Like a million teardrops from a thousand eyes
I'm drenched beneath the rainy Melbourne skies
Wonder how it is I feel so dry inside

But love uses the pain to drill the holes
That irrigate our dry and thirsty souls

Hold on to me, carry me through
Our story is the pain that we outgrew
Yeah, you can't call it love until you've lost
If you love someone this is what it cost

Sunlight fading fast, make it last
Sunlight fading fast, make it last
