"Passage spawned the debut single "All You Get From Love Is a Love Song," one Karen felt was a surefire hit. "We thought it was really going to make it," she said, "but it got hardly any airplay at all." It was a strong album cut but not nearly as strong a single as they needed at this stage. " (Little Girl Blue)



Lyrics:
Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere,
Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze.
As season fly I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away with the driftin tide.

Oh it's a dirty old shame that all you get from love is a love song
It's gotcha layin up nights waiting for the music to start.
It's such a dirty old shame when you got to take the blame for a
love song.
Because the best love song is writing with a broken heart.

Now the tears in my eyes are ever blindin'
The future that lies before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising
Lightin' up the world for everyone, but not for me.
