The Be All And End All

Flogging a rocking horse
Getting nowhere
We are a pair to behold
You like a funeral me like a fair
Nobody cares for the showThese days the rapids may drag us from here
And I do not care where we go
And you say that love is what we are my dear
But I just pretend not to knowIf it's the be all and end all
Then come on now love let's make a start
When love calls then it's time to play ball
But starting's the easiest partCounting my blessings like stars in the sky
The sleep walking moon watching on
And she's seen how lovers before us have tried
My darling lets not get it wrongIf it's the be all and end all
Then come on now love let's make a start
When love calls how sudden the fall
But falling's the easiest partI've had love come to nothing before
But it's alright it's alright
I've welcomed it in
And I've shown it the door
But it's alright it's alright
