The Only Thing

[Verse 1]
Spring comes to the world
Potential arrays the city
You look around, forget your past
Make a decision: you've got to move on

'Cause life's too short to wait
At some party in [Trappes?]
You catch the glance of someone, who maybe feels same
Who maybe feels the weight
That you do

[Chorus]
And you talk, of love
And laugh and joke
At folk who think the only thing
Is love

Summer days have come
You meet sometimes in Prague or Rome
And that's it, you wondering
Maybe you're just too cynical
And that it really is, just a game
That maybe you should roll the dice again

[Chorus}
And you fall in love
And begin to hope
That love's the thing, the only thing
Is love

[Verse 3]
Autumn comes with rain
There it is my love, it's falling on the fields again
Echoes and premonitions, stir your dreams
But you're happy, for now, it seems

[Chorus]
And you live in love
Tell everyone
That love's the thing, the only thing
Is love

[Verse 4]
A winter moon
A cold distance in the air
A strange distance in the room
A private glance, a secret call
A slow eclipse, that starts to crawl
A giant, setting sun

[Chorus}
And you fall from love
And you tell yourself
It couldn't have been love
'Cause love's a thing
It's the only thing
It's the only thing that will ever feel enough
The only thing is love
