Treasure Islands - John Gorka

Love is never easy

It's almost always out of your way

It's not the path of least resistance

It's not some words you get to say

It's a stream running up the mountain

It's a wave rolling out from the shore

I wish I could say I never

Felt that way before

I have a friend who's lonely

She is chasing after her dreams

And she is the one and only

One who knows how hard it will be

There's treasure on her island

Buried in this city of news

I wish I could say we didn't

Have that much to lose

One friend tried to end it

He could not see the good in his life

In his mirror or his pocket

And his hopes had come down life a knife

There's treasure on his island

Buried in this city of dues

I wish I could say we didn't

Have that much to lose

Love is never easy

It's almost always out of your way

It's not the path of least resistance

It's not some words you get to say
