The Tangled Road
Lyric by Kurt Elling
Tonight / tonight the moon is clean
There's nothing in between / the light that throws a sheen
On everything we think we see / under the stars
And neon of the bars / convincing us we are in love
But any moment now / a cloud or two will frown above us
For love is a fleeting thing / a lying and a cheating thing
Most times it seems the road to love is a tangle
Always an angle keeps me from finding love / in a maze of covering
Love is just misleading me / a mistake / defeating me
To me it feels like love is willful and confusing
Always abusing / lovers like me who keep the flame
Praying to meet another / who keeps the same
Holding a heart unclaimed / more than another game
Still I'll go on searching / weaving and lurching
Hoping one day / to see love clear
