Thirty Three

speak to me in a language I can hear

humour 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...

ever you...
