lyrics

Love conquers all

This life has finally begun
These tears are fading in the sun
Leaving a wiser clown
Dancing free and easy on the wire.

Somehow I’ve opened up the door
And now I know that love is more
Than taking the easy way
Trying to possess all you desire.

We went to sleep in ‘63
And dreamed a dream to make it seem so cool (so cool)
Now I awake and find that all these years I’ve been so cruel
Such a fool oh oh oh...

If you could see through my eyes
You’d understand the real prize
Welcome to the ball
Love conquers all.

In time the fallen angel sings
In times we’ll mend our broken wings
Letting it all go by
Rising like a phoenix from the fire

And romance lifts its glossy head
And tells you that these lumps of lead are really jewels
But then you find the truth instead
That love obeys no rules
And that’s cool oh.. oh...oh...

If you could see through my eyes
You’d understand the real prize
Welcome to the fall
Love conquers all.

All the petty wars that make the world go round
Every lie and every thought and every sound
All the countries, all the kings
Money, god and puppet strings
Love... will... conquer... everything...

Welcome to the ball
Love conquers all.
