I've said so long to the hills of LAI told that town to get lostEven if I had the money to stayStill can't afford what it costFrom riches to ragsFrom diamonds to coalYou've always seemed better to meYou trade in your silver for the price of my soulTo buy what is already freeAll my things melt awayOnly love, love remainsMy brother is a princeMy father is a kingI was given no crown of my ownSo I left the countryAnd I started to singBut since then my fortune has grownAll my things melt awayOnly love, love remainsIn the daylight seems restless in the wounds of a manHis instincts are out of controlHe's so worried about comfortHe spends all of his timeIn vain filling space in his soulAll my things melt awayOnly love, love remainsAll my things melt awayOnly love, love remains
