Like a square peg in a round hole Like a harp without its strings Like a sailor who sails no oceans Like a bird that has no wings Without love, I am a desert Without love, my light is dim Without love, I have no treasures Without love, I cannot win (Without love) We are like ships in the night (Without love) Selling our souls down the river Sailing away and forever our pleasure is blue Like a dream that has no dreamer Like a cloud without a sky Like a truth with no believer Like a mother without a child Without love, I have no pleasures Without love, my light is dim Without love, I have no treasures Without love, my chance is slim (Without love) We are like ships in the night (Without love) Selling our souls down the river Sailing away and forever our pleasure is blue
