Thirty Three

                                    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
