Real Love

I come from the land

Of a million stars

In the dead of winter, you can almost hear them burn

She came flyin' by

With stardust in her eye

We lit out and I swore I'd never return

I thought our love was true

I sang those Worried Man Blues

I was chained to the heart of a ghost

That I never knew

But I'm up above it now

I see for miles around

'Cause this is the only real love

That I have ever known

The boys are in the alley

With long-tall Sally

Sayin', "Come on, buddy, there's a party, do you wanna go?"

Down at the razor ball

Down at the Razor Hall

Where there's shadows in the eyes of the people that I used to know

Some came to me in strides

Some wounded my pride

On the banks where the raging river flows

But I could hear you callin' me

From the other side

'Cause this is the only real love

That I have ever known

My song is ringing like silver

Your heart shines like gold

They told me nothin' last forever

But I know they're wrong

You gave me the best

And I forgot about the rest

Now we're standing on the platform right where we belong

Engineer blows the whistle

The fireman rings the bell

This train is rollin' out tonight

It's sixteen coaches wide

We watch 'em all go by

'Cause this is the only real love

That I have ever known

Yeah, this is the only real love

That I have ever known
