Life isn't a game... won or tied... lost by either side...
|
Then some people's idea of the straight and narrow
|
Didn't appeal to me
|
|
If you were my life's companion
|
As it seems you may turn out to be
|
I'm contemplating
|
How I hope I'll find you waiting
|
At the very end of this crooked line...
|
|
Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness
|
Though light into darkness
|
While some people remark
|
No worthwhile fire
|
Ever started without that spark
|
|
If you were my life's companion
|
As it seems you may turn out to be
|
I'm contemplating
|
How I hope I'll find you waiting
|
At the very end of this crooked line...
