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