for love alone
For love alone, I did what otherwise I never could have done Though if I lost a race or two, I should have won And aimed a few too many arrows at the sun, it has been fun  When I was sure how very steep the price can be when love goes wrong I held my hasty hardened check but not for long Somehow I never could resist that siren song  If some dark day, I wake to find the love I felt was here to stay Has slipped away I'll simply say, these are the breaks, one makes mistakes  I bought the lies but now I'm wise And from the ashes like the Phoenix I will rise And sail the skies for nothing dies that flies for love alone  But now I'm wise And from the ashes like the Phoenix I will rise And sail the skies for nothing dies that flies for love alone  For love alone
