You cannot ask for love It may come If you wait year after year after year Love is the tide in, rises and falls Strong like the iceberg, gone with the thorn Love is the rain that falls in the night Hard in December, dry in July But I have it now By the throw by the pound But I have it now Gonna drink it down What do you want from love, what do you need? Is it something sweet? To make you feel complete Love like a road can strangle or hold Love like the wind won't do what it's told Love like the fire that burns on the shore Those flames will mourn you They can't be strolled But I have it now By the throw by the pound But I have it now Gonna drink it down But I have it now By the throw by the pound But I have it now By the throw by the pound [guitar break]
