Whenever from 1971 by Blake

Whenever

Whenever I see the sky turn black
Whenever front is back
Whenever lost
Whenever I wander off the track
I know you got my back
Whatever cost

And though sometimes I’ve blocked you from my heart
You must know I have loved you from the start
That I do not feel whole when we’re apart

You know that it’s true
I still love you

Whenever I feel all hope is gone
Whenever right is wrong
Whenever down
Whenever the nights seem very long
Whenever I’m not strong
You are around

And though sometimes you’re just not on my mind
And I can be a fool and be unkind
When I turn away from you I know I’m blind

You know that it’s true
I still love you

But if you need to let me go
I wouldn’t blame you doing so

And though sometimes I see in black and white
And I think you must be wrong and I am right
It never takes me long to see the light

You know that it’s true
I still love you

But if you need to let me go
I wouldn’t blame you doing so
