"The Bottom Line" lyrics

"The Bottom Line"

Like a cat dragged in from the rain
Who goes straight back out to do it all over again
I'll be back for more
It's something that is out of our hands
Something we will never understand
It's a hidden law

The apple falls
Destiny calls
I follow you

Like a pawn on the eternal board
Who's never quite sure what he's moved towards
I walk blindly on
And heaven is in front of me (Heaven is in front of me)
Your heaven beckons me enticingly
When I arrive it's gone

The river flows
The wise man knows
I follow you

I'm yearning, I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night
I'm dying too

The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you

I'm yearning, I'm burning
I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light
I will get burned each and every night
I'm dying too

The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
The sun will shine
The bottom line
I follow you
