Treasure Islands

Love is never easy
 It's almost always out of your way
 It's not the path of least resistance
 It's not some words you get to say
 It's a stream running up the mountain
 It's a wave rolling out from the shore
 I wish I could say I never
 Felt that way before
 I have a friend who's lonely
 She is chasing after her dreams
 And she is the one and only
 One who knows how hard it will be
 There's treasure on her island
 Buried in this city of news
 I wish I could say we didn't
 Have that much to lose
 One friend tried to end it
 He could not see the good in his life
 In his mirror or his pocket
 And his hopes had come down life a knife
 There's treasure on his island
 Buried in this city of dues
 I wish I could say we didn't
 Have that much to lose
 Love is never easy
 It's almost always out of your way
 It's not the path of least resistance
 It's not some words you get to say
