Where Are You My Lover?

I've been lost, I've been found
I buried my head in the ground
In the streets and the bars
Everybody knew me by name

And I suffered like a saint
For the money I stole and then spent
On the drugs and the booze and the moonlight
That shines when the wind blows

So where are you my lover?
Did you run for cover?
Where are you my lover
When I call your name?

I got down on my knees
I've been tossed like a sail on the sea
Through the heartache and struggle
I kept up my side of the deal

And I laughed at my pain
Cos the world is so fucking insane
For the wars of religion
And the wars of self-determination

So where are you my lover?
Did you run for cover?
Where are you my lover
When I call your name?

And I long for your touch
And your carnival smile
Oh I need you so bad now
Even just for a while

So where are you my lover?
Did you run for cover?

Oh my darling, take me down
You've been beat up and kicked to the ground
But you stand up so proud and so true
I can't hope to contend

You don't care anymore
You dress like a ten dollar whore
But I love you for more than the pain
And the fear that you show

For the wind in your sails
And the moon in your eyes
And the vision of truth
That cuts through my lies

So where are you my lover?
Did you run for cover?
Where are you my lover
When I call your name?
