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 - on 1992-11-09 and 1992-11-23 (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
