Elvis Costello - The Crooked Line lyrics

Life isn't a game... won or tied... lost by either side... Then some people's idea of the straight and narrow Didn't appeal to me If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of this crooked line... Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness Though light into darkness While some people remark No worthwhile fire Ever started without that spark If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of this crooked line...
