lyrics

"Troubador of Love"

Troubador of love
A full-time occupation
Bringing love songs to remote locations
Wherever I'm requested I will go

Out in the desert sun
On islands in the ocean
I help the tongue-tied describe their emotions
But now and then
I'd like to get to sing to you, oh yeah

Troubador of love
Ooh ooh whee
It's my destiny
But I don't want fame and glory
All I want is to
hold you at night

Troubador of love
Dog-sledding 'cross the Arctic
Another mission, a teenager is heartsick
And no one in his igloo understands

Now up a mountain
I hike among the goatherds
Called by a couple who cannot find the right words
I hope that I can help
and then go home to you

Troubador of love
Ooh ooh whee
It's my destiny
You can keep your fame and glory
I'll be there to
see you tonight
hold you tonight
love you tonight
