Stretching the paradox around us like a winter coat, we hold in our love and hate and hurt and beauty. Some losses and sadness can't be articulated, and our wonder and love cannot be measured or quantified. We love and lose and treasure and hold close the ones who are near us.
lyrics
I met you, back behind, the drug store (the drug store)
You had humbling eyes,
So, I shook your hand (so I shook your hand)
How did you get to be so damn poor? (so damn poor)
I try to empathize, so I shook your hand (so I shook your hand)
PRE-CHORUS
But it’s just underneath, where no one can see
CHORUS
Such a ruthless love, in your whiskey and wine
In your stomach and blood, in the fullness of time
The pale horse and his threat, has not taken us yet
Turn your face to the heat, Love is under your feet
VERSE 2
I choked up, when you laid the flowers down (the flower down)
I can’t take it away, are we all just afraid to lose (we’re just afraid to lose)
The picture of, your little girl, upon the wall (upon the wall)
The deep space in your eyes, after all these years (yeah, after all these years)
PRE-CHORUS
But it’s just underneath, where no one can see
CHORUS
Such a ruthless love, in your whiskey and wine
In your stomach and blood, in the fullness of time
The pale horse and his threat, has not taken us yet
Turn your face to the heat, Love is under your feet
VERSE 2
She stumbled up to his door, in your favorite black shoes
She was begging for more, We’re all itching to use
But the rush is a ghost, that’s what hurts her the most
No one has what you want baby, you’re just chasing the sun
BRIDGE
So, make Peace with you fear and desire
Everything that you loved is on fire
What did you think this life would require
everything that you love is on fire
PRE-CHORUS
But it’s just underneath, where no one can see
CHORUS
Such a ruthless love, in your whiskey and wine
In your stomach and blood, in the fullness of time
The pale horse and his threat, has not taken us yet
Turn your face to the heat, Love is under your feet
BRIDGE
So, make Peace with you fear and desire
Everything that you loved is on fire
What did you think this life would require
Everything that you love is on fire
Everything that you touch is on fire
Everyone that I love is on fire
Everything that you love is on fire
Everyone that I love is on fire
