Lyrics


The Bottom Line

Like a cat dragged in from the rain

Who goes straight back out

To do it all over again

I'll be back for more

It's something that is out of our hands

Something we will never understand

It's a hidden law


The apple falls

Destiny calls

I follow you


Like a pawn on the eternal board

Who's never quite sure

What he's moved towards

I walk blindly on

And heaven is in front of me

Your heaven beckons me enticingly

When I arrive, it's gone


The river flows

The wise man knows

I follow you


I'm yearning

I'm burning

I feel love's wheels turning


Like a moth on love's bright light

I will get burned each and every night

I'm dying to


The sun will shine

The bottom line

I follow you
