God By Another Name

What if life wasn't long

And everybody got just a single moment?

If you wasted the moment alone

Spent your while time thinking: "Why should I need love?"

Then look above to the sky and beyond

Cos you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, believe me

Everybody needs a lover sometimes

And you were mine

My god by another name

Everybody needs a lover sometimes

And you were mine

My shelter from the rain outside

What if life was a car

And you didn't really know how to start it

Would you sit in your car like a clown

Or get out and walk to the nearest crowded bar?

And kiss a mouth, make it smile and be proud

That at least you had a good time for a while?

Believe me

Everybody needs a lover sometimes

And you were mine

My God by another name

Everybody needs a lover sometimes

And you were mine

My shelter from the rain outside

And if you hold on to me now

And never let go

Then I guess at least we'll know

The sense that it all made, oh

Cos everybody needs a lover sometimes

And you were mine

My god by another name

Everybody needs a lover sometimes

And you were mine

My shelter from the rain outside

But you stayed
