Lyrics
Conservation Law: Love Keeps Going On
Words & Music by Dave Nachmanoff
In another place, in another time
Maybe I was yours and I’m sure that you were mine
That spark of recognition, flashing in your eye
The kind of love we had, I guess it never really dies
CHORUS:
There’s a law of conservation
Love is never really gone
It just forms new combinations
And love keeps going on
Love keeps going on
It could never work, there’s too much of a gap
Like two trains on a schedule, we just can’t jump off these tracks
It’s the way you tilt your head and lift your eyebrow slow
The memory comes back, though it’s many lives ago
(CHORUS)
So you’ll go back to your family, and I’ll go back to mine
With a tiny sense of loss, but I know we’ll both be fine (fine)
A momentary echo, just a blip of cosmic chance
And I look up from the checkout line and come out of this trance
(CHORUS)
(Love keeps going on)
