Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 streetlights greet me once again
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the Earth
[Verse 5]
And you
Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last
[Verse 6]
And for a moment, I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
Journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts, I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Your sympathies I'm ready to return
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
And you
Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last forever, you
Can make it last
Forever you
Forever you
