Only Love Survives
BLACKBIRDS
A candle at midnight, a star up above,
The wisdom of ages long ago.
A web in the moonlight, the wings of a dove,
The things they all say we should know.
Only love survives,
Only love survives
Only love survives.
The life of a soldier, a president’s word,
The money we save for when we’re old.
The prize winner’s trophy, a promise we heard,
The fire that keeps us from the cold.
Only love survives,
Only love survives,
Only love survives.
When I’m lookin’ behind me, the years that have flown,
I’ve got little that counts in this world.
The life we have woven, the children we’ve grown,
This woman I’ve loved since she was a girl.
Now I’m levitating, the table’s below,
The magician’s got nothing up his sleeve.
The rabbits are gone now, the dove’s are all flown,
The applause of the crowd’s my cue to leave.
Only love survives,
Only love survives,
Only love survives.
