INDIGO GIRLS - Love Of Our Lives lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I opened my hands up to see what I've got.<br>

My days slip like coins into a slot.<br>

They are gone, the shadows lie long.<br>

<br>

I've been banking on a broken machine.<br>

Left unattended, like most of my dreams.<br>

Rusted components of an unmarked song<br>

<br>

We've been staring down a brilliant dream<br>

The sun burns our eyes.<br>

We've been fighting for the love of our lives<br>

<br>

All around us things come apart.<br>

Broken pieces. broken hearts,<br>

Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing.<br>

<br>

Person to person, nation to nation<br>

Heels dug in no communication.<br>

While the time speaks of weathering<br>

<br>

We've been wanting to be helped by binding ties<br>

We've been fighting for the love of our lives<br>

<br>

And when it breaks down, I beg you don't go.<br>

A sinking ship, I'm ready to blow.<br>

I try to outthink you with an army of words,<br>

I strategize.<br>

I am fighting for the love of my life<br>

<br>

Fire and water, oxygen<br>

Scotch and soda, or any combination<br>

Starts the reaction.<br>

<br>

Is there no mastermind of modern day<br>

Who can blueprint a plan to make love stay<br>

steady and weatherproof usher in a new revolution?<br>

<br>

After trying more, the hopeful ones still try.<br>

How can we help it<br>

When we're fighting for the love of our live?<br>

<br>

(Trying more) The Hopeful ones still try.<br>

How can we help it<br>

When we're fighting for the love of our lives?<br>

<BR><BR>
