We can search for love in the eyes we meet
In the skin we touch
In the hollow of silky nights, with open mouths
We must search for love, it's the least we can do, you know
There's nothing else in the world, it's true
And nothing else counts
We can search for love in a thousand and one ways
Quietly in passing
Or else like there's nothing else to do
We must search for love to save our skins from dread
To save our lives from hell
It's carved in stone
A great love comes to us
That sweeps us away with no return, no mercy, no reason
And then there it is, the great love
The one we've always dreamed of
That we always dreamed of
We need love whatever our faces
Whatever our exploits
And whatever our wild escapades
We need love just like we breathe, you know
That's where our miracle is
That's where we tear ourselves apart
Sometimes we love against all hope
With no chance at all, on our knees
Sometimes we love like castaways, you know
Like the possessed, it's true
That's where our luck is
A great love comes to us
That sweeps us away with no return, no mercy, no reason
And then there it is, the great love
The one we've always dreamed of
That we always dreamed of
When we find love again it's like a blank page
That's left for us to write
Just as we lean in
A great love comes to us
That sweeps us away with no return, no mercy, no reason
And then there it is, the great love
The one we've always dreamed of
That we always dreamed of
