Well it’s a long and lonely road as we travel on our way
So we look to share our lives - keep loneliness at bay
But a world full of illusions is the road our journey’s on
And as we move amongst them, we try so to belong
Now much farther down the road – such that years are measured in
It’s hard to keep excited, as passion’s flames grow dim
But the fool who thinks that loving is just the early game
Will never understand true love and thus will not remain

Don’t talk of love, if you don’t know what you’re talking of
Don’t speak of “Yearning’s that you’ve lost some time ago”
Don’t speak of hope, if you don’t know what you’re hoping for
Don’t say you’re looking for that love you felt before … don’t talk of love

Some fools they go on searching ‘cause excitement is their game
They say they’ll never find true love, but their searching all the same
And as they stumble blindly - breaking other peoples lives
They may have found just one true heart but left it far behind
So illusion’s what their left with, as for now their life unfolds
And excitements hard to come by as experience takes hold
As they look upon the wastelands their children once called home
It’s the child that always pays the price for the urge they had to roam ... don’t talk of love

Songwriter’s Notes: I blame Walt Disney & Fairy Tales – they never get to the point where the two lovers have been together for a long time – worst of all at least half the population believe that the fairy tale beginning should last all their lives – oh yeah!
