How Many Ways

I’ve been travelling hard tho' there didn’t seem much to move me
And my senses were numbed as the scenery passed right thru' me
Down a telephone line it was easy enough to lose me
But with you on my side, it was easy to ride
The storm and the tide, as they bruised me
How many ways are there left to say I love you
I kept telling myself my wounds were on the mend
But my confidence slides when I can’t tell who’s a friend
There were nights when I cried and I could not see the end
But something within, made me still want to win
As I realized within me, was you
How many ways are there left to say I love you
She said, «I don’t know what to feel anymore
When you’re home it’s too much, when you’re gone I’m unsure
Can’t you admit there are times when you’re wrong
You’ve been away from me one week too long»
I’d lean against bars, hopelessly killing time
Talking out dreams and drowning my fears in wine
Avoiding the bed that brings a sadness that’s hard to define
When the day breaks again I go back to the same
Empty room, and the pain of us being apart
This is the time when I need to say I love you
How many ways are there left to say I love you
