The Trail Of Love

On the trail of love

Lost in the thick of it
 Which way is north

I’m scrambling through jungles with eyes closed
 Searching, but don’t want to find
 The beauty that blinds me and burns away
 All of my perfect lies

Won’t you point me in the wrong direction?

The trail of love

Finds me hiding
 Under sunny skies

This garden needs water and dark soil

Roll up sleeves, bend at the knees
 I’ve been saving these seeds to plant among weeds
 Because the fruit might be too much to bear

Hand me my broken shovel and rusty pail

Hold on, don’t give up

There’s love in the trees, go there now

And welcome home your weary sorrow

Hold on, don’t give up

There’s love in the water, go there now

And welcome home your weary sorrow

Hold on, don’t give up

There’s love in the heart, go there now

And welcome home your weary sorrow

Hold on, don’t give up

There’s love in your heart, go there now

And welcome home your deepest treasure

Oh, the trail of love, doesn’t go where I thought it would

Will you help me learn to love being lost again
