[00:18.480]Lend me an ear I'll tell you a story
[00:23.840]'Bout a man who didn't know how to be
[00:27.480]Joined a travellin' circus from PEI to BC
[00:32.670]I was playing dead every morning
[00:40.270]I was taking dives every night
[00:45.090]Someone came and swept me off my feet in midflight
[00:53.190]Now without a love I really got nothing
[00:57.830]Without a love I'd hang up my shoes
[01:03.370]It'd be a world of suffering
[01:08.370]If this one I was ever to lose
[01:10.320]So I'm hanging on with all of my power
[01:14.960]I'm hanging on as tight as a noose
[01:20.270]Around the midnight hour
[01:24.130]She said remember that I'm easily bruised
[01:34.330]I've heard everything that I wanted
[01:38.400]Had so much I threw it away
[01:42.690]She could see that what I needed was never there anyway
[01:51.160]Now everything around me is shifting
[01:55.370]I'm running like a child through a maze
[02:00.150]But I'm never lost completely 'cause an angel keeps me safe
[02:06.370]
[02:07.370]Lord, without a love I'm dead in the water
[02:11.720]Without a love my aim is untrue
[02:16.650]My blood gets hotter and hotter
[02:19.780]At the thought of leaving this angel blue
[02:23.980]I'm hanging on with all of my power
[02:27.990]It's looking like our bodies might fuse
[02:33.680]And when our cries got louder
[02:36.450]She said 'Remember that I'm easily bruised.'
[02:41.880]When I can't let go
[02:47.820]And if I love too hard I'll hurt my baby so
[02:54.760]Now everything makes sense at the moment
[02:59.250]And the moment's independent of time
[03:03.530]But who decides where truth resides
[03:08.660]Your guess is as good as mine
[03:11.370]So how 'bout a sip of the good stuff
[03:15.580]How 'bout 'nother round on me
[03:19.810]If this moment lasts forever
[03:22.710]Then the truth we might just see
[03:27.630]But without a love I don't have an inkling
[03:31.770]I'd be howling every night at the moon
[03:36.470]And if the stars stop twinkling
[03:39.960]The end will sure be coming soon
[03:43.720]So I'm hanging on with all of my power
[03:47.630]In the garden where we're all free to choose
[03:53.040]Any fruit or flower
[03:55.640]She said remember that I'm easily bruised
[04:00.490]Remember that I'm easily bruised
[04:04.410]Remember that I'm easily bruised
