The Record Plays On

My sweet Tattered Teddy I do believe that this record shall play until we have our happy ending.

Have our souls lived before?
Our minds already know one another,
Our hearts beat with one rhythm,
Our souls walk hand in hand
In the grooves of life that keep on playing.

Two souls caught in the groove
Round and round they spin
In love, in passion, in life forever
And the record plays on.

Could we be Odysseus and Penelope?
Destined to be together
Even after many years apart?
Our love for one another
Keeping time within our hearts?

Two souls caught in the groove
Round and round they spin
In love, in passion, in life forever
And the record plays on.

Are we Heer and Ranjha?
Two different people,
Raised in different lifestyles.
A simple meeting by chance
Swaying with loves sweet dance.

Two souls caught in the groove
Round and round they spin
In love, in passion, in life forever
And the record plays on.

Are we John and Abigail Adams?
Through simple words
Written by our loving hands
A love forms and grows
To be known through eternity.

Two souls caught in the groove
Round and round they spin
In love, in passion, in life forever
And the record plays on.

Are we Johnny and June Cash?
A love built between us,
Stronger then death.
Despite the demons
That so many run from?

Two souls caught in the groove
Round and round they spin
In love, in passion, in life forever
And the record plays on.

Or are we the lovers of Claddagh?
Separated in their love.
While he was held prisoner,
She never looked at another
And upon his return they wed.

Two souls caught in the groove
Round and round they spin
In love, in passion, in life forever
And the record plays on.

Have our souls lived before?
Our minds already know one another
Our hearts beat with one rhythm
Our souls walk hand in had
In the grooves of a record that keeps on playing.
