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 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 away / and you can make it last, forever, you can make it last, forever, you can make it last forever, you, forever you
