As I walked out one evening

Walking down Bristol Street

The crowds upon the pavement

Were fields of harvest wheat

And down by the brimming river

I heard a lover sing

Under the arch of a railway

Love has no ending

I'll love you till the ocean

Is folded and hung up to dry

Till the seven stars go squawking

Like geese about the sky

The world shall run like rabbits

'Cause in my heart, I hold

The flowers of the ages

Love has no ending

Love has no ending

And all the clocks in the city

Began to whirr and chime

O, let not time deceive you

You cannot conquer time

In the burrows of the nightmare

Where justice naked is

Time watches from the shadows

And coughs when you would kiss

O, plunge your hands in the water

Plunge them up to the wrists

Stare, stare in the basin

And wonder what you've missed

The glacier knocks in the cupboard

The desert sighs in the bed

The crack in the teacup opens

A lane to the land of the dead

Where the beggars raffle the banknotes

And the giant's enchanting to Jack

And the lily-white boy is a roarer

And Jill goes down on her back

O look, look in the mirror

Look in your distress

Life remains a blessing

Although you cannot bless

O stand, stand at the window

As your tears scald and start

You will love your crooked neighbor

With all your crooked heart

It was late, late in the evening

The lovers had all gone

The clocks had ceased their chiming

And the deep river ran on

Love has no ending

Love has no ending

Love has no ending

Love has no ending

Love has no end
