The Story of Love (King John) Songtext

von Rick Wakeman

The warmth of your love
Can burn a way into a lost,
Icy cold heart
Change at will
And melt man into man
And turn his head slowly to love
Slowly to love

A Queen for a King
To give the touch of a young
Young woman to sing
Love to the people
But when she's not there
How soon the heart hardens to stone

But what of the man engulfed in love?
But for just brief moments in time
Lost in space with eyes everywhere
My friends
That is the story of love

And if you want to
I can tell you of the pain to follow
And of the innocent
And not the guilty who will suffer
But you won't listen
As the person we are talking to is you

Hey, calm down, main man
No longer are you in control
Bow down to the power of love
A never ending starring role

Queen of hearts
The heart is king
No-one wants to be the clown
A deep breath for the power of love
As the walls come tumbling down

But the man still fights
For the right to be King of England
To lord over all
With a rod of iron and steel
But caught in the trap of love by chance
Nobody gives him a second glance
Not a nice way to get caught
Within the turning wheel
Hear love squeal

Fire coming out
With every single word that's said
With the force of the source that's working
In the secret passage of your head
So sail away
Golden day
So that love can paint the hate clouds red

There's a main frame above
That's the mainstay of our love
(If you ever want to go and find it)
Our love is the right term
For looking for a right turn towards love
(If you ever need to find it)

The man with the arrows is firing at you and me
No good diving
He can fire at land or sea
Attack
Launch
Fire
Fire
Fire your love
Fire your love at the plan
Turn him out
Burn him out
To the passion of a molten fire
Hold on
Release now
I said now, now, now, now, now!

A King for a Queen
A Queen for a King
A song built of love
A love meant to sing

A heart now sold
A heart now won
A heart on fire
A love as one

And if you want to
I can tell you of the pain to follow
And of the innocent
And not the guilty who will suffer
But you won't listen
As the person we are talking to is
The person living inside you
