Chasing my lost grail
As God is my weakness
I will not fail
Burn
Torches burn
Torches fade
You might learn to feel vaguely betrayed
When they do
But I'll always carry a spare,
A backup torch for you
Just for you
Just for you
Pass me at light speed
Love is a steeplechase
Underscored by human need
Wish
Pennies splash
Pennies rust
It's enough to leave someone nonplussed
When they do
But I'm always saving a spare,
A backup wish for you
Just for you
Just for you
Oh, darling please
You know
Money's made from trees
After all, it is
And how much just depends on how tall it is
Burn
Torches burn
Torches fade
You might learn to feel vaguely betrayed
When they do
But I'll always carry a spare,
A backup torch for you
Just for you
Just for you
