  • It makes no difference where I turn
    I can't get over you and the flame still burns
    It makes no difference, night or day
    The shadow never seems to fade away

    And the sun don't shine anymore
    And the rains fall down on my door

    Now there's no love
    As true as the love
    That dies untold
    But the clouds never hung so low before

    It makes no difference how far I go
    Like a scar the hurt will always show
    It makes no difference who I meet
    They're just a face in the crowd
    On a dead-end street
    And the sun don't shine anymore
    And the rains fall down on my door

    These old love letters
    Well, I just can't keep
    Cause like the gambler says
    Read 'em and weep
    And the dawn don't rescue me no more

    Without your love I'm nothing at all
    Like an empty hall it's a lonely fall
    Since you've gone it's a losing battle
    Stampeding cattle
    They rattle the walls

    And the sun don't shine anymore
    And the rains fall down on my door

    Well, I love you so much
    It's all I can do
    Just to keep myself from telling you
    That I never felt so alone before Writer/s: ROBBIE ROBERTSON
