| speak to me in a language i can hear humour me
|
| before i have to go
|
| deep in thought i forgive everyone
|
| as the cluttered streets greet me once again
|
| i know i can’t be late, supper’s waiting on the table
|
| tomorrow’s just an excuse away
|
| so I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
|
| the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
|
| at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
|
| steeple guide me to my heart and home
|
| the sun is out and up and down again
|
| i know i’ll make it, love can last forever
|
| graceful swans of never topple to the earth
|
| and you can make it last, forever you
|
| you can make it last, forever you
|
| and for a moment i lose myself
|
| wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
|
| i’ve journeyed here and there and back again
|
| but in the same old haunts i still find my friends
|
| mysteries not ready to reveal
|
| sympathies i’m ready to return
|
| i’ll make the effort, love can last forever
|
| graceful swans of never topple to the earth
|
| tomorrow’s just an excuse
|
| and you can make it last, forever you
|
| you can make it last, forever you |
