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 apparaît 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.
