From the recording I Am / I Was
Another favourite of mine, so much that for a long time I thought it was too good for me to be played or sung or touched...
Well, I dared, and here it is...
Not many times I did a second attempt while crafting a cover: I did it with this, deleting the folder containing the first project, which didn't work at all, and beginning from scratch.

Lyrics
I still recall those crazy nights
Days our love was at its height
The madness and the passion that we shared
Waking early in the gloom
Beside you in that bedsit room
Magazines and letters everywhere
Pay phone ringing in the hall
Cheap emulsions on the walls
The smell of winter in the air
With you I feel alive and clean
And happier than I've ever been
When I'm alone it's hard to bear
One day I will lose you and that I know
But sure as hell I'm gonna be yours, sure as heaven
And till that day I'll still be loving you
The way I do while we're together
I'll be loving you, still loving you
The day we went back to the place
You spent your wild unhappy days
The hometown of a teenage refugee
I lay beside you on the grass
As trains to London thundered past
The ghost of who you used to be
One day I will lose you and that I know
But sure as hell I'm gonna be yours forever
And till that day I'll still be loving you
The way I do while we're together
I'll be loving you, still loving you
Silences and sudden strains
Fall between us now again
I know you're always on your guard
But you don't have to be sweet to me
Be what you want to be
Be rude and brutal if you are
One day I will lose you and that I know
But sure as hell I'm gonna be yours forever
And till that day I'll still be loving you
The way I do while we're together
One day I'll lose you and that I know
But sure as hell sure yeah yeah
And till that day I'll still be loving you
The way I do while we're together
Yeah
Loving you Oh I'll be loving you
Loving you I'll still be loving you
