The Backyard Of My Life
If I Ain't Got You (Going Nowhere Fast)
What is my life? what is my purpose?
Whats the reason I've lost all meaning?
Whats the point of having dreams?
What could i possibly achieve?
Whats a poor boy to do?
I ain't got nothing if i ain't got you
How can i face another day?
How will i cope in the mercy of the night
How could i possibly carry the weight
The suns light might never break through
I'm surrounded by darkness if i ain't got you
Without you by my side
The sky would rip open wide
Ill be stranded going nowhere fast
Slipping sliding slowly losing my grasp
Time is meant to heal but i cant stop the way i feel
Find me a four leaf clover or a lucky horseshoe
Disaster will strike if i ain't got you
Flowers would all turn to stone
Jokes wouldn't be funny anymore
Poetry would be empty worthless words
Symphonies silent sounds and white noise
After plenty of thought I've come to construe
My soul will fade away if i ain't got you
Birds would sing out of tune
Stars cease to shine shadows cover the moon
My heart would be a black hole
Time would be a fake empire a rats nest of miseries
ill be cast away beyond rescue
I would not survive if i ain't got you
