love's heartless jest

is love a wondrous mystery or is it a cruel joke?

full of painful history did i burn it all in smoke

love reveals it's depths when the ship is going down

my head is parched and starved for a cup i did not fill

and this will never heal sorrow confides in joy

but i'm listening still to the cries of a helpless boy

the boy becomes a man

a man who can stand on his own two feet

he has a heart that burns but a heart that won't melt

sleeping in the light awake in the darkness night

please don't worry darling i'm not going anywhere

but when you cast me away i will not try to fight the waves

this song i'll never sing this song it cries in vain

and i hope you feel every word you know where i am
