Mostly Love, Now

When I was young I was a burning sun
A single man who’d never die
Dead centre of another universe
An empty fantasy inside

Hidden away from hate that never came
Clear that away and mostly love remains
The work to make a diamond out of coal
And if you’re game, then I’m forever yours

When I was young I never needed much
Of what I could not comprehend
Now I have learned that I have only burned
The bridges built by absent friends

Each little spark is starting up my heart
The sand of selfishness decays
A mountain made from all the best of days
These thoughts can start to fall away

No-one can say the best is yet to come
But I’ll explain what I have never done
Show me the way, forget about the cost
Let’s get away, cos I’m forever yours
