Revision as of 23:59, 21 April 2009
Life isn't a game won or tied
Lost by either side
Then some people's idea
Of the straight and narrow didn't appeal to me
If you were my life's companion
As it seems you may turn out to be
I'm contemplating
How I hope I'll find you waiting
At the very end of this crooked line
Love isn't a trial of strength and weakness
Through light into darkness
Then some people remark
The worthwhile fire never started without that spark
If you were my life's companion
As it seems you may turn out to be
I'm contemplating
How I hope I'll find you waiting
At the very end of this crooked line

“‘The Crooked Line’ is a song longing for constancy. It's the only song I've ever written about fidelity that is without any irony.” — elviscostello.com, March 23, 2009.
