Lyrics

Life isn't a game Won or tied, lost by either side Then some people's idea Of the straight and narrow Didn't appeal to me If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of this crooked line Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness Through light into darkness While some people remark The worthwhile fire never started Without that spark If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of this crooked line If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of this crooked line At the very end of this crooked line At the very end of this crooked line
