Lyrics

Soon the heartbreak will be gone
Nothing human built lasts long
The eternal wheel burns on
Whether love is right or wrong

I remember December?s early morn
Your golden tresses falling down
The caged bird?s lilting song
The thunder of advancing storms

Summer came and summer?s gone
But my diamond love lives on
A rose-heart that?s tattooed
In a Irish gypsy?s palm

Soon the heartbreak will be gone (CHORUS)
Nothing human built lasts long
The eternal wheel burns on
Whether love is right or wrong

Horses on a merry-go-round
Carry us up, and dash us down
From the highest mountain peaks
To Death Valley?s simmering heat

The Spanish castle glimmers
As I kiss your graven image
While your ghostly shadow shimmers
Under silver-tipped waterfalls.

(CHORUS)

Together we row hardened oars
Like Othello?s love-sick Moors
Who always drink up life
And drown within their ocean strife

From between the curtain drawn
Is revealed a naked dawn
And within the rising sun
Another man child is born

(CHORUS)

Soon the heartbreak will be gone (Fade out)
