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(o)
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
