Speak to me in a language I can hear Humor 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 Can make it last forever, you Can make it last
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 Tomorrow's just an excuse and you Can make it last, forever you Can make it last, forever you Can make it last, forever you
