For Love Alone

For love alone, I did what otherwise I never could have done
Though if I lost a race or two, I should have won
And aimed a few too many arrows at the sun, it has been fine

When I was shown how very steep the price can be when love goes wrong
I held my hasty heart in check but not for long
Somehow I never could resist that siren song

If some dark day, I wake to find the love
I thought was here to stay has slipped away
I'll simply say, these are the breaks
One makes mistakes, I bought the lies

But now I'm wise
And from the ashes
Like the phoenix I will rise
And sail the skies
For nothing dies that flies for love alone

But now I'm wise
Like the phoenix I will rise
And sail the skies
For nothing dies that flies for love alone

For love alone
