lyrics

It was a twenty year night
Before the song had begun
Just before love's light
The rosy fingers of dawn

She was a willow bough
He was a weather vane
And when the wind blew down
Somehow they bent the same

It said,
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough

Back in those early years
Working lousy jobs
The kitchen shelves were bare
But they had all they could want

There was a fear in her eyes
When he came home one day
She said she had a surprise
Another life on the way

He said,
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough

It was the thick of life
The kids were nearly grown
They got their money right
They bought a craftsman home

But then the kids moved away
And all their friends got divorced
They missed those earlier days
Back when they thought they were poor

She said,
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough

Fifty years ago
They asked what love could be
And now the sun hangs low
Over the wine dark sea

They're walking hand in hand
Toward that eternal shore
They watch the shadows dance
He never loved her more

And they say,
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough
Love is enough, love is enough, love is enough

She was a willow bough
He was a weather vane
And when the wind blew down
Somehow they bent the same
