There's a Crack That Love Falls Through

Just when we weren't looking,
When nothing more was new
We turned uncaring faces and found
There's a crack that love falls through.

Who would have thought it?
But I can verify it's true:
Turn your back, then look around:
There's a crack that love falls through.

I suppose it's like a cravasse,
deep and dark and blue
You barely notice at the time,
The crack that love falls through.

One day you feel a shiver,
a prelude to the blues,
a lonely note from the other side
There's a crack that love falls through

The words we left unspoken,
Little things we wouldn't do -
lost and gone forever-
There's a crack that love falls through.

A woman of a certain age,
I have seen love come and go -
have lost it when I turned my back:
There's a crack that loves falls through.
