Sustain as performed by the Fat Cats.  Lyrics by Paul Sloane, Music by Ian MacKenzie

Sustain

As I walk the lonely streets,

All those people that I meet

I can see it in their eyes

It is me that they despise.

As I wandered through my life,

As I ate my daily bread,

It tasted bitter in my mouth

And it filled my heart with dread.

But your love sustains me,

Your love supports me.

Your love explains me.

Your world contains me.

If a man can have one love in his life,

Let it be you, let it be you.

If a man can have one dream in his life,

Let it come true, let it come true.

Instrumental

If a man can sink so low,

That there’s nowhere left for him to go

Then I’ve been to that place,

I was sinking without trace.

But then you came into my life,

You smiled your smile at me

And from that moment on

There was hope I could break free.

‘Cause your love sustains me,

Your love supports me.

Your love explains me.

Your world contains me.

If a man can have one love in his life,

Let it be you, let it be you.

If a man can have one dream in his life,

Let it come true, let it come true.
