Lyrics

Stone love - she kneels before the grave

A brave son - who gave his life to see the slogan

That hovers between the headstone and her eyes

For they penetrate her grieving

New love - a boy and girl they talking

New words - that only they can share in

New words - a love so strong it tears their hearts

To sleep - through the fleeting hours of morning

Love is careless in it’s choosing - sweeping over cross a baby

Love descends on those defenseless

Idiot love will spark the fusion

Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove

All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving

Soul love - the priest that tastes the word and

Told of love - and how my God on high is

All love - though reaching up my loneliness evolves

By the blindness that surrounds him

Love is careless in it’s choosing - sweeping over cross a baby

Love descends on those defenseless

Idiot love will spark the fusion

Inspirations have I none - just to touch the flaming dove

All I have is my love of love - and love is not loving

Lai lai la-la la-la la-la la lai lai

La-lai la-lai la-lai lai lai lai

La-la la-la la-la la-la-la la la la-la la la-la la la
