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
 You can make it last, forever you
 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
 And you can make it last, forever you
 You can make it last, forever you
