Where Does Love Go When It Dies

written by John Williams

Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God?
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost?
Could you ever take a life when all was lost?
And would it ever be enough?

Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more?
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds then spit it on the floor?
Could you open up your heart and then close the door?
Or would it ever be enough?

Every word you whisper,
All the tears you hide,
You die for love when it's alive,
But where does love go when it dies?

If you came across your dream would you walk on by?
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die?
And is there inside your mind for one more try?
But would it ever be enough?

I watch the time go rushing by,
It's like an Ocean Wave,
Showing you no mercy,
Throwing dirt upon your grave.

You're drowning in the darkness,
And you're blinded by the light,
And there ain't no prayer,
That's gonna save you now!

If you woke up from your sleep with blood on your hands,
Would you wash the pain away that no one understands?
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again!
Or would it ever be enough?

Every word you whisper,
All the tears you hide,
You die for love when it's alive,
But where does love go when it dies?
