How many times have I waited for love
To fill up the cracks where the rain still gets in
A smooth runway when I come in on one engine
A fat Cheshire cat to my asinine grin
How many times have I used up my chances
And sat like a criminal lost in despair
But like lawyers who leap through their loop-holes like dancers
Love always stepped up to answer my prayer
And oh, I keep doubling back
To this station on the circle track
Like a drunkard's hand reaching for his pocket flask
Again and again
I believe that love will always be
The star that guides the sailors back from sea
And it shines above me like a grail
A beacon on the shore
A ghost across the moors that I have chased
