"Love Stumbles On" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

In a haunted tavern, drowning your sorrows
You find a kind soul, with a million tomorrows
You share a few, find you ache for more
Lift your injured heart, off a dirty floor

Near by, a fragile baby cries
Lights a new dawn in your tired eyes
Armed with compassion you enter the fray
And live to love another day

From the mean street of Brooklyn to the Amazon
Love finds a way, love stumbles on
In a shattered world so completely wrong
Love finds a way, love stumbles on

Although at times, we'd like it to be
Life is really no big mystery
The darkest blues, may drown in a song
Go help somebody, love be strong

From the crumbling Kremlin to old Abidjan
Love finds a way, love stumbles on
With every hope, wish and dream long gone
Love lights the way, love stumbles on
Love stumbles on

When it's all over, looking back in time
You see one set of footprints with life on the line
You cry to your maker "Why weren't you there!?"
He says "Hey, those were my big feet, carrying you from despair"

From the mean street of Brooklyn to the Amazon
Love finds a way, love stumbles on
In a shattered world so completely wrong
Love lights the way, love stumbles on
Love finds a way, love stumbles on...
