Is Love

01 Is Love

She stares into the mirror

Youth fading with the sun

The hollows in her face like wishing wells

Scarlet as a paper-cut and jeweled as the Orion

She'd never worn the jewelery as a girl

She says 'the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love'

She says 'the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love'

He stares into the river

Heart falling to the drift

An argument of cars moving full steam behind

Blood-shot as a baby and sulking like a valley

Fishing in reflections killing time

He says 'the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love'

He says 'the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love'

It's the bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed

The milk that's going rancid on the table

The panic in the evening the photos in the dustbin

The pointless items we forgot to label

It's the perfume on her wrists that stinks of easy birthdays

The spare keys like asbestos on the side

It's the cross around his neck for luck and not for honour

Like diamond over knuckle of a newly married bride

She says 'the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love'

He says 'the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love'

And I know the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love

And I know the only thing I've ever found

That's greater then it always sounds is love
