deal for life

Singer:john waite

in the course of your life

there's a side of each man

that sleeps in the darkest hour

i don't know what it takes

it takes time

it takes faith

to awake the second state of the heart

and a simple taste of love

to lift us up

it's easy enough to believe

cause we're working on this deal for life

when your heart's held for ransom

walk away and your spirit will fly

bet the light that burns in your eyes

on a deal for life

oh yeah

i never danced in a storm

i was hooked by a hunger

that left a bitter taste in my soul

there's a distance between

hard truth and dreams

some days it pays to run with the chances

i've got a simple taste of love to lift us up

it's easy enough to believe

cause we're working on this deal for life

when your heart's held for ransom

walk away and your spirit will fly

bet the light that burns in your eyes

on a deal for life

and tennis slaves backhand never moved you

it tooks a soul all the way to pull you through

and now i won't let go

won't let go

oh yeah

got a simple taste of love

to lift us up

it's easy enough to believe

cause we're working on this deal for life

when your heart's held for ransom

walk away and your spirit will fly

cause it's easy enough to believe

on a deal for life

when your heart's held for ransom

walk away and your spirit will fly

bet the light that burns in your eyes

on a deal for life

oh yeah

it's easy baby

it's easy

it's easy to believe

on a deal for life
