Walking into the night,
I would take nothing for me,
Nothing at all
Knowing I could go on,
Just to have called you my lover,
Who would have known?

Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness
Just love, just love, just love

Each time I'd miss your face
I would come walking back to you, so scared
You said, "What if you change all of our most unchangeable mistakes?"

Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness
Just love, just love, just love

Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
Our hearts knew everything our heads would soon discover

Oh, missing everything
Our hands were tied together
It was not quite happiness
Just love, just love, just love

    General Comment:I really like this song for its characterization of a love that is "not quite happiness." Love is usually understood as an unfathomable elation far greater than happiness, while this song is expressing a love that is far different.
