  • Life isn't a game won or tied lost by either side
    Then some people's idea of 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
    Though light into darkness
    While some people remark
    No worthwhile fire
    Ever 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
    At the very end of this crooked line
    At the very end of this crooked line Writer/s: ELVIS COSTELLO, T-BONE BURNETT
