Love Is Lyrics

Breeze on my body, the sun in my face

It's a do-nothing kind of day

Laying back in the grass and closing my eyes

Letting my head drift away

But my mind rambles back to that faraway summer

Less than a year ago

Twelve months can be a lifetime

More than the long years before

Was it so recent, that first light kiss

That wakened my sleeping soul?

It seems so long since you laid in my bed

So many bad trips ago

But love is a whisper, an echo, a candle

Wavering in the wind

And a year can bring changes too deep to ignore

And wipe out the person you've been

Now it's ten in the evening, the jukebox is playing

It's all over now

I doodle on beermats, chat with a stranger

Close my ears to the sound

"I used to love her": Lord knows I loved you

God help me, I love you still

But I talk at new faces and try to relate

I wonder if I ever will

I suppose if I wait for an aeon or two

It'll start to make some kind of sense

But I've tried for a while, and I can't seem somehow

To think past the present tense

The fact is, it's easy to live without hope

But once let it into your head

And time is an arrow; love is a knife

Loneliness a single bed
