  All the Love



    The first time I died
    Was in the arms of good friends of mine.
    They kiss me with tears.
    They hadn't been near me for years.
    Say, why do it now
    When I won't be around, I'm going out?

        "We needed you
        To love us too.
        We wait for your move."

    Only tragedy allows the release
    Of love and grief never normally seen.
    I didn't want to let them see me weep,
    I didn't want to let them see me weak,
    But I know I have shown
    That I stand at the gates alone.

        "I needed you
        To love me too.
        I wait for your move."

    All the love, all the love,
    All the love we could have given.
    All the love, all the love,
    All the love you should have given.

    The next time I dedicate
    My life's work to the friends I make,
    I give them what they want to hear.
    They think I'm up to something weird
    And up rears the head of fear in me.
    So now when they ring
    I get my machine to let them in.

        "I needed you
        To love me too.
        I wait for your move."

    All the love, all the love,
    All the love we we could have given.
    All the love, all the love,
    All the love you should have given.
    All the love, all the love, all the love.

        "We needed you
        To love us too.
        We wait for your move."
