Sounds of loveare what I've been listening for.But I don't leave home,no I never even open my door.I've had my ear pressed up against the keyhole nowand now it's full of dusty sound.Hair and skinare what I've been sifting through.If I tried you on,I wonder if I'd fall for you.But the kind of lovethat you can carve into a treealways carves its hole in me.I've gone searching in every cavefor fire.I keep thinking I see a spark in the dark.But my guess is thatit's just the sparkles in my own eyestelling me thatthe more I look the farther I get.Every time I get a little closer I find outOh that I'm right where I started.SongtexteI've tried to love.Lord knows I've played that game.But I always end up making deals in the lion's mane.He says he's selling love,he says he sells it by the gram.So I buy the most I can.I've gone sailing on every sea -full of numbers, on ships, in bookspast the curve of the earth.But my guess is thatit sailed away with little toy tugboats.Telling me thatthe more I look the farther I get.Every time I get a little closer I find outthat I'm right where I started.Take time in your bitter handsand wipe off the morning light.Try not to fall asleep,and let the stars fill up your eyes.Oh, your eyes.Oh, your eyes.But my guess is thatit's just the sparkles in my own eyestelling me thatthe more I look the farther I get.Every time I get a little closer I find outthat I'm right where I started.Oh, that I'm right where I started.
