Is love a wondrous mystery or is it just a cruel joke   Full of painful history, did I burn it all to smoke?   Love reveals it's depths when the ship is going down   My heart is parched and starved for a cup I did not fill      And this will never heal   Sorrow confides in joy, but I'm listening still   To the cries of a helpless boy   The boy becomes a man   A man who can stand on his own two feet   He has a heart that burns but a heart that won't melt      Sleeping in the light, awake in the darkest night   Please don't worry darling, I'm not going anywhere   But when you cast me away I will not try to fight the waves   This song I'll never sing, this song it cries in vain      And she thinks I'll never change   Sorrow confides in joy   But I'm listening still   To the cries of a helpless boy   The boy becomes a man   A man who can stand on his own two feet   He has a heart that burns but a heart that won't melt      And I hope you felt every word   You know where I am now
