The Tangled Road

by Kurt Elling

Lyrics
Tonight
Tonight the moon is clean
There's nothing in between
The light that throws a sheen
On everything we think we see
Under the stars
And neon of the bars
Convincing us we are in love

But any moment now
A cloud or two will frown above us
For love is a fleeting thing
A lying and a cheating thing

Most times it seems the road to love is a tangle
Always an angle, keeps me from finding love
In a maze of covering
Love is just misleading me
A mistake, defeating me

To me, it feels like love is willful and confusing
Always abusing
Lovers like me who keep the flame
Praying to meet another
Who keeps the same
Holding a heart unclaimed
More than another game

Still, I'll go on searching
Weaving and lurching
Hoping one day
To see love clear...

Most times it seems the road to love is a tangle
Always an angle, keeps me from finding love
In a maze of covering
Love is just misleading me
On a whim, defeating me

To me, it feels like love is willful and confusing
Always abusing
Lovers like me who keep the flame
Praying to meet another
Who keeps the same
Holding a heart unclaimed
More than another game

Still, I'll go on searching
Weaving and lurching
Hoping one day
To see love clear...

To see love clear...
To see love clear...
