A tired sailor times taken it's toll, a reek of oil, sweat and coal, for six long years he've sailed the seas, the debt is payed he's finally free
Remembers her perfume a sweet sour scent, a box in his pocket the years that she spent, locked in his mind her eyes and her smile, the heart has been aching endured his long trial
Forever is a long time but love will last, the body remembers feelings from the past, never give up and never give in, hang in there tightly and love always win
A rusty old bus is taking him there, thoughts keep wander does he really dare, after all this time away from his reach, will he find the words for his longlost speech
Remember the warmth surrounded by cold, a long winternight worth all the gold, the earth can provide for she is the one, this was never a sprint but for the long run
Forever is a long time but love will last, the body remembers feelings from the past, never give up and never give in, hang in there tightly and love always win
He walked in the door glanced through the room, she caught his eye seeds ready to bloom, a beautiful creature perfected by years, of men proposing but broken in tears
Eyes did meet and he started to shake, panic came creeping was this a mistake, with rust in his voice he told of his love, reached in his pocket and gave her a dove, a poor mans gift a token a vow, stared in the ground while taking a bow, a gentlemans way a gentlemans heart, they're journey began and this was the start
Forever is a long time but love will last, the body remembers feelings from the past, never give up and never give in, hang in there tightly and love always win
And love always win
And love always win
