[00:03.69]Up from the pastures of boredom
[00:09.60]Out from the sea of discontent
[00:15.12]They come in packs like hungry hounds
[00:20.43]The seekers of the dark enchantment
[00:36.87]They haunt the boulevards and bars
[00:40.53]They pray to wishing wells and stars
[00:44.25]They ride the hurricane of hope
[00:46.17]Not looking back but on they go
[00:50.07]Toward the distance and deceiving
[00:53.64]And all the while they keep believing
[00:55.62]That they are special and apart
[01:02.43]The lovers, the lovers of the heart, the lovers
[01:12.30]And when they pair off two by two
[01:15.90]They feel they are the chosen few
[01:17.88]And though their beds are made of straw
[01:21.63]They feel like velvet in the night
[01:25.26]And so the night is never ending
[01:28.95]It's made of distance and pretending
[01:30.99]That they're special and apart
[01:41.55]The lovers, the lovers of the heart, the lovers
[01:48.30]And when love goes away
[01:52.47]And when love goes, goodbye
[02:00.06]And it catches in their throats like cotton
[02:05.76]And it rises in their hearts like rain
[02:10.38]The good times suddenly are all forgotten
[02:18.78]The hunt begins again
[02:24.72]They search the subways and the streets
[02:28.44]Their faces tired like their feet
[02:32.22]Their bodies aching to be warm
[02:34.17]And so they hide behind the moon
[02:37.83]Their loneliness inside them growing
[02:41.76]But they take comfort in just knowing
[02:43.53]That they are special and apart
[02:54.03]The lovers, the lovers of the heart, the lovers
[03:00.87]And when love comes again and when love comes
[03:05.43]Hello, it rises from their throats like singing
[03:18.27]And it comes up from their hearts like wind
[03:25.71]The good things
[03:25.98]Strangers in their arms are bringing
[03:28.08]Makes life all right again
[03:37.32]They turn their faces to the light
[03:41.07]No longer hiding in the night
[03:44.73]So unashamed and unafraid
[03:46.80]That they can face each other's faults
[03:50.43]And though the waltz will have its ending
[03:54.03]There is no harm in just pretending
[03:56.16]That they are special and apart
[03:59.67]The lovers, the lovers of the heart, the lovers
