Have you been on Love Patrol

 


Have you been on Love Patrol searching for love?

Title:


Love Patrol


(A lone voice whispers)


Tonight

Still on on parole 

On love patrol 


In the storms 

Of life


As things spiral 

Out of my control 


I pray Love comes into sight

To make me 

Whole


While my heart is beating

Like a lone drummer 


In the middle of the night

In Summer


As I wear my heart on my sleeves


Haunted by Father Time's 

One thousand thieves 


Wondering 

In this wet silence


As I stand outside

The box

In steadfast defiance 


Will I still be praying 

Come November


With this moon still as bright

 

That the missing part

Of my soul

 

Will come into sight

And help me 


Remember

L'amour apparaĆ®t quand on s'y attend le moins. Car tous les papillons ont besoin d’une flamme.

Love appears when you least expect it. For all moths needs a flame.
