Love Is the Only Answer

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
