Too many dances have ended
When the band runs out of tunes
Too many hearts have been broken
When the pieces come unglued
Too many dreams abandoned
When the new moon s lost it s shine
Oh send me the love of a lifetime

How many tears must I cry
Before my broken heart will mend
How many roads must I wander
Till my home comes round the bend
All the treasures that I see
Still I feel so blind
Oh send me the love of a lifetime

Flowers fade when the river runs dry
The mountains will fall as the time goes by
But the bird in golden cage still wants to fly

So many ships are drifitng
Where the stars no longer shine
So many words left unspoken
And we re running out of time
Too many secrets we re keeping
You ve got yours and I ve got mine
Oh send me the love
Won t you send me the love
Won t you send me the love of a lifetime
