David McClymont & Peter Loveday - Love Takes Hold Lyrics

It's funny, he says, I have this gift, apparently
People in the street all want to stop and be with me

He's got a family, though they don't see him so much
He's busy grating his gears and riding his clutch

He was happy that way for quite a while
Then one day something cracked inside

He spent something like six months in intensive care
When he got out his whole life was suddenly there

Whatever it was put a sparkle in his eye
He took his wife by the hand and lay happily at her side

Well I don't know what it is, he said, what I now find
The sudden joy of knowing that you are mine

A ukulele plays way down deep in his hold

Those notes are sweet and the song is bold
As love plays its chord, as love takes hold
