Love's Heartless Jest

Is love a wondrous mystery

Or is it just a cruel joke

Full of painful history

Did I burn it all to smoke

Love reveals it's depths

When the ship is going down

My heart is parched and starved

For a cut I did not feel

And this will never heal

Sorrow confides in joy

But I'm listening still

To the cries of a helpless boy

The boy becomes a man

A man who can stand on his own two feet

He has a heart

That burns

But a heart that wont melt

Yeahhhh

Oh oh ohhhh

Sleeping in the light

Awake in the darkest night

Please don't worry darling

I'm not going anywhere

But when you cast me away

I will not try to fight the waves

A song I'll never sing

This song it cries in vein

She thinks I'll never change

Sorrow confides in joy

But I'm listening still

To the cries of a helpless boy

The boy becomes a man

A man who can stand on his own two feet

He has a heart that burns

But a heart that wont melt

And I hope you felt every word

I know where I am now
