From the recording America, Dreaming
Lyrics
all my friends are skipping town
while I’m stuck in the here and now
losing all the right words to say
holding on to hopelessness
still hoping that that hold might stick
what’s a little wool to keep my eyes closed
what kind of love is that
display to you your weakness
what kind of love is that
to make you weep
what kind of love is that
it opens up then closes
holding up your brokenness intact
see that love won’t last
dancing in this rented room
okay I forgot my dancing shoes
but what is it to you if I can’t
the birds they sing inside my head
but I cannot put their tune to pen
I’m making noise, I must be making something
what kind of love is that
display to you your weakness
what kind of love is that
to make you weep
what kind of love is that
it opens up then closes
holding up your brokenness intact
see that love won’t last
