[Verse 1]
Love is the only thing that matters
Love is the only thing that's real
I know we hear this every day
It's still the hardest thing to feel

[Chorus]
This time when I go back to Ludlow Street
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Without you there

[Verse 2]
Another generation's parties
And it is still the same old scene
I can recall each morning after
Painted in nicotine

[Chorus]
This time when I go back to Ludlow Street
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Without you there

[Bridge]
All of the people I once knew
All of the ones I was close to
[Verse 3]
Love is the only thing that matters
Love is the only thing that's real
And when I think about you now
Love is the only thing I feel

[Chorus]
This time when I go back to Ludlow Street
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Without you there
Tim, this time when I go back to Ludlow Street
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Without you there
