Lyrics
Soulmate (N. Ball/T. Saputo)
A soulmate is a funny thing
She makes you wonder where you've been,
why all that time had passed before
she strung her light above your door.
Did she get lost, could you not feel
the emptiness that passed for real?
The practice loves that missed the mark
the lonely nights, the empty sparks?
Chorus:
Are soulmates angels sent to play?
Are soulmates meant to go away?
Perhaps we'll know the truth someday.
Til then, I'll tuck my soul away.
We're held in place until we find
the one who holds our peace of mind,
who fits our soul like hand-to-glove.
Our fate, our one intended love.
But then a soulmate takes her leave.
The rabbit runs back up the sleeve.
No words, no tears can make her stay.
Her purpose here, no one can say.
Chorus:
Are soulmates...
c Norman Ball 2003
