Name: You Wouldn't Know Love
Duration: P00H02M40S
Description: Not everyone grows up knowing they are loved. And it only gets more complicated as folks grow up. Oftentimes one bad relationship leads to the next until people give up on love all together. I wrote this song for those whose thirst leads them into painful relationships instead of into the deep, cool, refreshing well of unconditional love. Don’t give up. It’s out there.

Not everyone grows up knowing they are loved. And it only gets more complicated as folks grow up. Oftentimes one bad relationship leads to the next until people give up on love all together. I wrote this song for those whose thirst leads them into painful relationships instead of into the deep, cool, refreshing well of unconditional love. Don’t give up. It’s out there.

lyrics

I talk of love, but you won’t listen,
Like you can’t hear what I say.
If only you knew what you were missing,
You wouldn’t turn love away.

Chorus
But you wouldn’t know love if it fell from the skies.
You can’t see the stars for the tears in your eyes.
You want something real but you settle for lies. ‘
Cause you wouldn’t know love,
No you wouldn’t know love
If it fell from the skies.

Never alone but always lonely.
Still you pretend not to care.
Behind the hurt there is a longing
To know that somebody’s there.
(chorus)

Lips parched for love you hope will satisfy.
You dig for water but the well is dry.
No amount of romance gonna ease the pain.
Your heart needs real love like the ground needs rain.
(chorus)

about

Durand Robinson Birmingham, Alabama

Telling stories is as natural as breathing. Life is full of them. I go by Durand instead of Noel because of a story. I've moved more than twenty times. There are lots of stories behind that. I've lived around the world, learning stories.
Songwriting isn’t a skill that’s separated from life. Music comes from living and observing life around me. That’s why I keep a blog… breadcrumbs for my memory. ... more
