Lyrics

The Design Ain't Absolute

It is the law of pursuit

Hold the lightning from his paw

It stings like the stranger

Uncomplicated by that welcome look in your eye

A thankful look in your eye

And let the wind be the bow

Across the rain

And playin' all them songs

Persuade us where to go

Persuade us where to go

Approximate the love lost

This design ain't absolute

This design ain't absolute

This design ain't absolute
