About the song
The song was the first one to be recorded on the first day of the Ten Summoner's Tales recording session (1992-08-10).
The band played If I Ever Lose My Faith In You five times. The bass was later replaced during mixing sessions at The Town House (it was the only song to feature the Fender Precision bass), as were some guitar parts. The only overdubs were a harmonica part by Sting, a Synclavier organ and some percussion parts played by Sting and Vinnie Colaiuta on an old Linn. Sting's vocals and the Harmonica part of the song were recorded on a Sony 800 G microphone.

Lyrics
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress You could say I lost my belief in the holy Church You could say I lost my sense of direction You could say all of this and worse, but If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians They all seemed like game show hosts to me If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do I could be lost inside their lies without a trace But every time I close my eyes I see your face I never saw no miracle of science That didn't go from a blessing to a curse I never saw no military solution That didn't always end up as something worse, but Let me say this first If I ever lose my faith in you There'd be nothing left for me to do
