When I'm lost in a strange place
Scared and alone
When I'm wishing for home
That's when I think of you
When the load gets too heavy

Too much too bare
When I'm going no where there's no-one there
And I'm feeling like a fool

Chorus
That's when I think of you
It's all that I can do
I'd go mad if it wasn't for you

When I'm caught in the crossfire
Of wrongs making right
When I wake in the night
That's when I think of you
When I'm half way to heaven
And three parts in hell
And it's all just as well and I can't even tell
I'm lost without a clue

Chorus

If not for the thought of you
The promise of dreams come true
I'd go mad if it wasn't for you

When I'm lonely for loving
So far from home
When it feels like I'm in the Twilight Zone
And I just can't make it through

Chorus

If not for the thought of you
The promise of dreams come true
I'd go mad if it wasn't for you

Oh I'm always thinking of you
It's all that I can do
I'd go mad not being with you
If not for the thought of you
The promise of dreams come true
I'd go mad not being with you
