But For Love Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

So it's rainin' again and the wind's up in a roar 

I've been swept through the streets to be washed up at your door 

But you're with him I know so I'll crawl back later on 

Why do I need you so but for love I'd be gone 

With my back to the wind I'm wondering what it is about you 

That makes it so hard to stay and harder yet to live without you 

So I'll look all around but there's nothing here for me 

Like a prisoner I'm bound but for you I'd be free 

But for you I'd be on a jet leavin' today 

For a place in the sun far away 

But the rain still comes down and the chilly winds keep blowing 

Down these cold empty streets I'm wondering what keeps me going 

So I say to myself why do you linger on 

And my heart cries to me but for love I'd be gone 

But for love I'd be gone
