the crooked line
Life isn't a game won or tied lost by either side Then some people's idea of straight and narrow Didn't appeal to me  If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of this crooked line  Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness Though light into darkness While some people remark No worthwhile fire Ever started without that spark  If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of this crooked line At the very end of this crooked line At the very end of this crooked line
