INDIGO GIRLS - Love's Recovery lyrics

rate me

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