Love Is the Only Answer - The Flower Kings

Love Is the Only Answer - The Flower Kings
I was there in the beginning
I will be the last to leave
And I'm movin' through the ages
With the comfort of God's speed
There is no such thing as perfect so I might apologise
That I didn't see the darkness in your eyes
In your eyes
I'm a man of many colours
I'm a man of many names
I'm a rebel and a teacher
I am no one just the same
If I give away the answers you have questions put on hold
But I didn't see the weakness in your soul
Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback
I've been travelling every roadside
I've been sailing every sea
I've been circling like in orbit
Round that cosmic Christmas tree
You think science is a fact but it's just a childish game
And they never saw the greatness of a game
Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for
Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback
Saw the craziness begin on a cold race straight to hell
There ten more hours ago we just waitin' for the bell
Not much time for small talk now besides to heaven and the nail
Bringing out the muscles for the shadows never fail
Where did all the goodness go
I feel alone
Suddenly they're just crawling out like from under a stone
Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback
No Jack
Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole
It's like the world just collapsed into space
If you look for a trace of redemption
You're not likely to find in this place
I've always looked for good in everyone
I've seen so many places under the sun
Now then they oughta let me down
It's just you and me and time
I'm a king who lost his crown
I bid you bread and wine
I always hoped that love was in your eyes
Now I sacrifice to find out if I was right
Now then they oughta let me down
It's just you and me and time
I'm a king who lost his crown
I bid you bread and wine
Where did all the goodness where did all love go
Where is all the kindness
Cannot find a home
First you bring me up and then you break me down
I don't want your money I just want your time
World is getting older now
World is getting colder now
Eagle's getting bigger
This playground for the wicked
No one's really listenin'
No room for the reasonin'
The cash machine just opened up it's drawers
And now it's diggin' in
Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole
It's like the world just collapsed into space
If you look for a trace of redemption
You're not likely to find in this place
Look when you stand on the brink of that dark hole
It's like the world just collapsed into space
If you look for a trace of redemption
You're not likely to find in this place
I was here in the beginning
I will be the last to leave
You've been told so many times before
That the truth will set you free
But still you fabricate your dreams
On greed and lust and fame
Bring shame upon your name
It's so damn hard to elevate
If I speak to you with clarity
And you read me back alright
So that words may go like chefs of light
Into the darkest night
There's no way out of here
There's no way out of here
There's no way out of here
I was here in the beginning
I will be the last to leave
And I'm movin' through the ages
With the comfort of God's speed
There is no such thing as perfect
So I might apologise
That I didn't see the darkness in your eyes
Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback
Love is the only answer
Love's what you feel
In the end you can invest in love
But never ask for payback
