Love's Recovery (Live)
Lyricist:Amy Elisabeth Ray, Emily Ann Saliers
During the time of which I speak It was hard to turn the other cheek To the blows of insecurity Feeding the cancer of my intellect The blood of love soon neglected Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
Meanwhile our friends We thought were so together They've all gone and left each other In search of fairer weather And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast To the slim chance of love's recovery
There I am in younger days, star gazing Painting picture perfect maps Of how my life and love would be Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection My compass, faith in love's perfection I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen
Meanwhile my friends We thought were so together And left each other one by one On the road to fairer weather Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And we sit here in our store and drink a toast To the slim chance of love's recovery
Rain soaked, voice choked Like silent screaming in a dream I search for our absolute distinction Not content to bow and bend The whims of culture, swoop like vultures Eating us away, eating us away They're eating us away to our extinction
Oh how I wish I were a trinity So that if I lost a part of me I'd still have two of the same to live But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal As specks of dust, we're universal To let this love survive Be the greatest gift we could give
Tell all the friends Who think they're so together That these are ghosts and mirages All these thoughts of fairer weather And though it's storming out I feel safe Within the arms of love's discovery
