    Lyrics
    Love hopes to attain
    To what cannot be attained
    Love gropes in the darkness
    For someone to be blamed
    But there is no one to blame in love
    It's like a sailor on the sea,
    You know that sailor could be me
    Where the waters are uncharted
    And the wrecks are broken-hearted
    I'm still learning the ropes, love hopes

    Love yearns for the lover
    For the comfort of the Other
    Love burns as it turns
    From one way to the other
    But there is no way to turn to in love
    It's like a mountain in the north
    Where Foolhardy ventures forth
    Writes a letter to his wife
    "It isn't me who loses life
    On these slopes", love hopes

    Love takes us to the region
    Of the mournful Roman legion
    Who set off into the mist
    After the girls had all been kissed
    They were in love
    But as the soldiers marched away
    Into the land of cold and grey
    As the oxen creaked the carts
    A great hush fell on their hearts
    The maiden mopes, love hopes

    Love kills people dead
    It doesn't matter what she said
    When the phone started ringing
    All the angels started singing
    A sacred hymn about love
    But when he picked up the phone
    The person said "Nobody's home;
    Was is she and that young man
    Who just packed up their bags and ran?
    They've eloped". Ha! Love hoped

    Love guides us on the way
    Love teaches us to pray
    Both caused and eases pain
    Both soothed and drives insane;
    Our crazy love
    But through the darkness there's a light
    Through despair a will to fight
    The imperative of known
    Caused the lovelorn fool to moan
    Somehow he copes, love hopes
