When You Love Someone

Janis Ian

When you love someone – it's an arrow in the heart
When you love someone – it's a shot in the dark
When you love someone – it's a needle in the vein
When you love someone – it's a moth to the flame
When you love someone – it's love that makes a hero

When you love someone – it's a prayer for the damned
When you love someone – it's another helping hand
When you love someone – it's a crack inside the wall
When you love someone – and you don't have far to fall
When you love someone – it'll make a fool believe
When you love someone

When you love someone
We will come down from the mountains
When you love someone
We will rise up from the valleys, yeah
When you love someone
We will come from every corner
When you love someone
We will make this whole world over
Just you wait and see

When you love someone – it's love that makes you brave
When you love someone – from the cradle to the grave
When you love someone – there's a song in every word
When you love someone – you are more than you deserve
When you love someone – there is magic in your hands
When you love someone – and there is peace upon the land

When you love someone
We will come down from the mountains
When you love someone
We will rise up from the valleys, yeah
When you love someone
We will come from every corner
When you love someone
We will make this whole world over
Just you wait and see

When you love someone – it's a shadow at high noon
When you love someone – it's a river on the moon
When you love someone – it's an ocean in a pond
When you love someone – it's the starlight at dawn
When you love someone – it's a never ending heat
When you love someone

When you love someone – it's an arrow in the heart
When you love someone – it's like a shot in the dark
When you love someone – from the cradle to the gave
When you love someone – from the master to the slave
When you love someone – it'll make you a hero
When you love someone

When you love someone – it's a prayer for the damned
When you love someone – it is another helping hand
When you love someone – it's a crack in the wall
When you love someone – and you don't have far to fall
When you love someone – there is magic in your hands
When you love someone – there is peace upon the land
There is peace upon the land
There is peace upon the land
There is peace upon the land
