For lack and love of you

For lack and love of you, love,

I pine the long days through;

I waste the powers

Of the rich hours,

For lack and love of you.

For lack and love of you, love,

All life is grown untrue;

O I squander

And wander,

For lack and love of you.

For lack and love of you, love,

I grow myself untrue;

I am drowning,

Drowning, drowning.

For lack and love of you.
