Lyrics

A long night more than 30 years ago
Defeated all alone
Broken hearted
A phone call in the spring of 92
Just a casual do
Something started

Love is hiding
Love is near
Love is new
Love is hopeful ‘cause I might start loving you

A white cab on a Thursday afternoon
City bride and city groom
No wedding cake
Speeches, guessing how long could it last
And who gets married that fast anyway

Love is easy
Love is fun
Love is cool
Love is just a word that I just said to you

In the deep end
Didn’t know each other’s shames
Playing silly little games
But we keep trying
Confusion over anger and our fears
Finding trauma in our tears
Can’t stop crying

Love is fighting for us
When love is cruel
Love is patience when it’s hard loving you

Between the babies and the moves
Misunderstandings we assumed
We know we don’t have the tools to get it right just yet
But we’re in this every day
Moving, wading through the pain
Even when we feel in emotional debt

It’s been you
It’s been you all along
Every part of every song that I still play
The calm days far outweigh the thunderstorms
And the forecast calls for warm and sunny days

Love’s a verb
Love is work and love is bruised
Love is careful
Love is gentle
Love heals wounds
Love’s familiar
Love is comfort
Love is truth
Love is all we have and I’ll keep loving you
Love is all we need and I’ll keep loving you
