Will To Love Lyrics

Will To Love

La la la la, la la la la.

 La la la la, la la la la.

 

 It has often been my dream

 To live with one who wasn't there

 Like an ocean fish who swam upstream

 Through nets, by hooks, and hungry bears:

 When the water grew less deep

 My fins were aching from the strain

 I'm swimming in my sleep

 I know I can't go back again

 

 [Chorus - (varying)]

 Got the will to love, the will to love.

 I'll never lose it, never lose the will to love,

 never lose the will.

 It's like something from up above.

 La la la la, la la la la.

 La la la la, la la la la.

 

 I can be like a fire in the night:

 Always warm and giving off light

 But there comes a time when I shine too bright

 I'm just a fire in the night

 And now my fins are in the air

 And my belly's scraping on the rocks

 I still think someone really cares

 And I'll keep swimming till I stop

 

 [Chorus]

 

 I'm like a singer on the stage

 With the golden lights and liquid rage

 Down from the mountains to the sea

 Cool running love keeps cleansing me

 It keeps my gills from getting dry

 But it distorts things in my eyes

 Sometimes I see what really isn't there

 Like my true lover; and I care

 

 [Chorus]

 

 Sometimes I ramble on and on

 And I repeat myself till all my friends are gone

 And get lost in snow and drown in rain

 And never feel the same again

 I remember the ocean from where I came

 Just one of millions all the same

 But somewhere someone calls my name

 I'm a harpoon dodger, and I can't, won't be tamed

 

 [Chorus]

 

 Baby, if I see boredom in your eyes

 I'll know my river has run dry

 But I won't turn back with that lonely tide

 I bought that ticket and I'll take that ride

 If we meet along the way

 Please sway beside me; let us sway together

 Our tails together and our fins and mind

 We'll leave this water and let our scales shine

 In the sun above and the sky below

 So all the water and earth will know
