[Verse 1]
There's a distant sound
To the outward bound
On a lonesome windy night
A restless sigh as it fades away
A longing at first light
There's a sad resolve
That it's all gone wrong
Yet before you turn to go
It comes to you
It's really true
It's your love that's last to know

[Verse 2]
Well we take our time
We're polite and kind
To the strangers that we meet
And the ones who share
The ones who really care
They don't seem to make us feel complete
So we stand alone
And we act so strong
We're all such worldly souls
'Til we find one day
We've lost our way
And our love's the last to know

[Piano Solo]
Oh
Oh

[Verse 3]
So we stand alone
And we act so strong
We're all such worldly souls
Then we find one day
We've lost our way
And our love's the last to know
Then we find one day
We've lost our way
And our love's the last to know
