Only Love Would Know - Gordon Lightfoot

Does the light of passion still burn bright

Only love would know, my imagination

Tells me I’m a pent-up fool

In the deep end of the pool

Is the light of passion burnin' bright

Only love would know, only love would know

She lives on the other side, you wanna know the reason why

She arrives at promises and you believe in what she says

Everywhere you go

Is the light of passion burnin' bright

Everywhere you go, only love would know

You think you’ve been wronged again

Oh what a way to treat a friend

She belongs to other eyes and surely you must realize

She ain’t the kind who would soon step aside

Pay any dues at the expense of her pride

Everywhere she goes, only love would know

In the days gone by I came to believe

Everything is trust, all the rest is dust

Mother nature, mother dear, listen to us over here

Are the sounds of laughter ringing true

Only love would know, only love would do

She lives on another plane away from the drivin' rain

She says no, you say yes, and that’s how it should be I guess

Only love would know

May the light of love surround you tonight

Everywhere you go, only love would know

You think you were wrong until

You learned once and for all it’s still

Once more lesson on the way

Or that is what it seemed to say

She’s not the kind who would soon step down

Not the kind you would try to walk around

When only a thought would go very well

You can tell by the touch

Ah but only love would know

Passion burnin' bright

Tears of passion late at night

Is the light of passion burning bright

Everywhereyou go, only love would know
