It’s been a long day and the night before was even longer
I just got home and Lord I’m glad that it’s all over
I take a look around, a book is on the kitchen table
A look outside, dressed in red today’s goodbye
Still I ask myself: ‘How can I sit down and rest?’
When there’s storms raging on the surface of this earth
When there are people searching for a way out of distress
When there’s a voice inside crying out for solace
It’s well past midnight now and I’m still wide awake
So many different stories are going through my head
I always wanted more for the whole wide world
And yes it’s possible, at least I’ve heard that:
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love until we give it away
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love
I know that I don't know all of it / But now I know too much, too much, to let go of it
There I caught a glimpse once for a moment / A Higher taste is what I’m holding onto
Everything’s changing All the same things / Re-arranging cosmic card games keep on playing
I’m not tryin’a turn heads but pages, yeah / My thoughts, scattered on the kitchen table…
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love until we give it away
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love until we give it away
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love until we give it away
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love
The only wish I have now is to go with a smile
From all the empty ashes all that matters’ has taken flight
So what is left is left and all that remains / I kneel down, I fold my hands and I pray
Let me be forgotten, Good Lord! And my love, let my love be unchained
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love until we give it away
Love wasn't put in our hearts to stay /
Love isn't love until we give it away
… Love wasn’t put in our hearts to stay
