Nothin' Without You

Steve Earle


I'm the keeper of your heart 
I keep the flame when we're apart 
I'm the lover in your arms 
Or a baby soft and warm 

I'm a hero in your eyes 
I'm a comfort when you cry 
When you hurt me I'm your fool 
But I'm nothin' without you 

(CHORUS) 

No I'm nothin' without you 
It don't matter what I do 
If I win or if I lose 
Sweetheart I'm nothin' without you 

I'm a beacon in the night 
To show the way until it's light 
I'm a stumbler in the dark 
When I can't say what's in my heart 

I'm a poet just the same 
Every time I speak your name 
I'm just a shadow when I'm blue 
But I'm nothin' without you 

(CHORUS)
