Love, like Vaudeville, came to town
And looked like it might stick around
But pretty soon I wondered where it went
It's really such a comedy
A slapstick sorta revery
It always leaves you laughing till you're spent
As soon as there's a wind that blows
Love goes where the compass shows
You can count it by degrees, no doubt
But there's no way to measure out the-

And then you touch but cannot touch
The reasons why are better left unsaid
Stolen moments, lifted drinks
A kiss goodnight upon the cheek
Then home to lie awake all night in bed
You blew your chance, your timing's off
Maybe next time you'll be sharp enough
But between two points you're gonna find
The furthest distance is a straight-straight line of- Longitude

And sarted with a pretty song
But soon it turned into a juggling act
And then it ended with a kiss
Of parted lips and promises
But I know that she's gone and won' be back
Oh I can take the time apart
And I can take the sorry heart
The empty house, the empty hands
The only thing I just can't stand's the- Longitude
