From the recording Dance

Lyrics

Manny lost his way
 many years ago

And on his face he still wears the sorrow
Manny had a love
 in another time

When he lost his love he lost his mind
Oh love you give
Love you take away
When he was a boy
 it was no way to live
Manny’s parents had no love to give

So he ran away, far away from home
Looking for the love he’d never known
Oh love you give

Love you take away
Manny met PJ under city lights

He saw the loss and love in PJ’s eyes

Soon they shared their days
 and they shared their nights

Manny found the love of his life
Oh love you give

Love you take away
Local redneck boys said it was a sin
And on a summer's night came busting in
And they took their bats

And they took their knives

Manny watched as they took PJ’s life
Oh love you give

Love you take away
Manny walks the streets
 in his old hometown

Never leaves the place just walks around
Keeping to himself
, he never says a thing
But deep within his soul he sings
Oh love you give

Love you take away
