Only Love Would Know Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Does the light of passion still burn bright? 

Only love would know my imagination 

Tells me I'm a pent-up fool in the deep end of the pool 

Is the light of passion burnin' tonight? 

Only love would know, only love would know 

She lives on the other side, you wanna know the reason why 

She arrives at promises and you believe in what she says 

Everywhere you go 

Is the light of passion burnin' bright? 

Everywhere you go, only love would know 

You think, you've been wronged again 

Oh what a way to treat a friend 

She belongs to other eyes and surely you must realize 

She ain't the kind who would soon step aside 

Pay any dues at the expense of her pride 

Everywhere she goes, only love would know 

In the days gone by I came to believe 

Everything is trust, all the rest is dust 

Mother nature, mother dear, listen to us over here 

Are the sounds of laughter ringing true? 

Only love would know, only love would do 

She lives on another plane away from the drivin' rain 

She says no, you say yes 

And that's how it should be I guess 

Only love would know 

May the light of love surround you tonight 

Everywhere you go, only love would know 

You think, you were wrong until 

You learned once and for all it's still 

One more lesson on the way 

Or that is what it seemed to say 

She's not the kind who would soon step down 

Not the kind you would try to walk around 

When only a thought would go very well 

You can tell by the touch 

Ah but only love would know 

Passion burnin' bright 

Tears of passion late at night 

Is the light of passion burning bright? 

Everywhere you go, only love would know
