Hopeless Love

Hide my sorrow, swallow my fear
Listen to the ring of one crystal tear
Counting the hours left in the day
Counting the minutes till we play
Sweet pain of love
Sweet pain of hopeless love
Sweet hopeless love

Join me now and say a little prayer
For those to whom love is unfair
Distance strips me of what is mine
Close my mind and turn to wine
Sweet pain of love
Sweet pain of hopeless love
Sweet hopeless love

One day, when its course is run
This love will lie wilted in the sun
Seven days or seven long years
Each moment weighted by the tears
Sweet pain of love
Sweet pain of hopeless love
Sweet hopeless love
