IS A THORN WORTH THE BEAUTY
IS THE PLEASURE WORTH THE PAIN
IS A VELVET TOUCH WORTH THE SCARLET FLOW
IS THUNDER AND LIGHTNING WORTH THE RAIN
I'VE BEEN KISSED BY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESSES
HEARD THEIR DADDY'S CALL FOR MY HEAD
BEEN 3,000 MILES FROM HOME
WONDERING WHO'S SLEEPING IN MY BED
FELT THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
KNOWN THE BETRAYEL OF CLOSE FRIENDS
HEARD THE LIES AND PROMISES OF LOVERS
SWEARING IT WOULD NEVER END
DANCED IN ALLEYS AND MOUNTAINTOPS
DOWN IN VALLEYS, AND GUTTES, AND STREETS PAVED IN GOLD
SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS IN THE GYPSIE'S LAIR
LISTENING TO THE STORIES BEEN TOLD
COUNTLESS HORIZONS I HAVE CONQUERED
ALL WITH ONE SINGLE THING IN SIGHT
BE ABLE TO HOLD SOMEBODY WHO LOVES ME
IN MY ARMS IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
I WILL CONTINUE MY FRUITLESS SEARCHES
UNTIL MY SECRET LOVER IS FOUND
THAT DAY MAY COME WHEN I HOLD HER
I WILL KEEP LOOKING TILL THEY PUT ME IN THE GROUND
