mmmmmm.
I got love, and it hurts like fire.
So, so low and falling much higher;
Needing a feeling that words can express
Instead of the ones that mean even less.
mmmmmm.
I got love, and as much as it burns,
I take the coming and going in turns,
And wish I knew what to do with the heart
That takes its own edges and tears them apart.
mmmmmm.
Lord, don't let this untrustworthy soul
Send little pitfalls in front of the goal.
I stare with fear at the oncoming finish
And feel my resolve slowly diminish.
mmmmmm.
You got the heart that ruins itself
Put away safely, up on your shelf
For timing is crucial as far as I know,
The stopwatch is ready- I'll get set, and go.
mmmmmm.
I got love, and it's so far away
It taunts up ahead and darkens my day
'Cause hope never far from my spirit resides
And it takes its sweet time in coming, besides.
mmmmmm.
I got love; oh God, it's all yours,
And I will stop this knocking at doors,
For the words in my heart take a lifetime to say,
And my own impatience steals them away.
postscript
Impatience- it doesn't make life a bit easier. But that's alright: He's got it.
