Real Love

[Verse 1]

I come from the land of a million stars

In the dead of winter, you can almost hear them burn

She came flyin’ by, stardust in her eye

We lit out and I swore I’d never return

[Chorus 1]

I thought our love was true, I sang those “Worried Man Blues”

I was chained to the heart of a ghost that I never knew

I’m up above it now, I see for miles around

'Cause this is the only real love that I have ever known

[Verse 2]

The boys are in the alley with Long Tall Sally

Sayin’, "Come on, buddy, there’s a party, do you wanna go?"

Down at the razor ball, down at the Razor Hall

Where there’s shadows in the eyes of the people that I used to know

[Chorus 2]

Some came to me in strides, some wounded my pride

On the banks where the raging river flows

I could hear you calling me from the other side

As this is the only real love that I have ever known

[Verse 3]

My song is ringin' like silver, your heart shines like gold

They told me nothin’ lasts forever, but I know they’re wrong

You gave me the best and I forgot about the rest

Now we're standing on the platform right where we belong

[Chorus 3]

Engineer blows the whistle

The fireman rings the bell

This train is rollin’ out tonight

It’s sixteen coaches wide

We watch ‘em all go by

Because this is the only real love that I have ever known

Yeah, this is the only real love that I have ever known
