THE POWER OF LOVE
The power of love
Is the crown and the anchor
The power of love
Transcends scorn
The power of love
Is the power and glory
Transcending fate
In all forms
The power of love
Persists in memory
And of course
Persists in time
The power of love
Flirts with salvation
But returns
To scene of the crime
The power of love
Comes round about midnight
Getting to the station
Right on time
The power of love
Is coming through
This evening
Just about 11.59
The power of love
Has X-ray vision
And don’t need
The so-called facts
The power of love
Sees your prior convictions
But don’t care
A thing about that
The power of love
Thrives in darkness
In shadow cities
And lost streets
The power of love
In tenement daydreams
Oh baby that’s just
The weight of the world
The power of love
Comes round about midnight
Getting to the station
Right on time
The power of love
Is coming through
This evening
Just about 11.59
The power of love
Broken yet brazen
Sometimes has
No words to speak
From balconies
Of Essex in Chinatown
To the flooding gutters
Of St. James Street
Love prevails
Over crass rumination
It don’t need
No alibis
The power of love
Will leave you shaking
When it hits you
Right between the eyes
The power of love
Comes round about midnight
Getting to the station
Right on time
The power of love
Is coming through
This evening
Just about 11.59
