God By Another Name

What if life wasn’t long*
And everybody got just a single moment?
If you wasted the moment alone
Spent your while time thinking: «Why should I need love?»
Then look above to the sky and beyond
Cos you don’t know what you’ve got 'til it’s gone, believe me
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My god by another name
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My shelter from the rain outside
What if life was a car
And you didn’t really know how to start it
Would you sit in your car like a clown
Or get out and walk to the nearest crowded bar?
And kiss a mouth, make it smile and be proud
That at least you had a good time for a while?
Believe me
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My God by another name
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My shelter from the rain outside
And if you hold on to me now
And never let go
Then I guess at least we’ll know
The sense that it all made, oh
Cos everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My god by another name
Everybody needs a lover sometimes
And you were mine
My shelter from the rain outside
But you stayed
