American Song Box

Lyrics

So okay you left when I needed you most
wanting you here only having your ghost
tied to your rock and burned at your post

I begged for your water, got a mouth of your dust
wearing your diamonds only covers your rust
making your distance an' calling my bluff

Love is greater than the wants of the heart
Life is bigger than the sum of its parts
It's high time we come and leave lonely alone
the hope of the heart is the heart of the home

So okay you found
that some goes do come 'round
they're calling you out after several years down
wanting to shake you from the light that you found

But that is all an illusion
this is just the same day
It's light and it's dark
it's just a game that we play
with mind and emotion
with time and delay

Love is greater than the wants of the heart
Life is bigger than the sum of its parts
It's high time we come and leave lonely alone
The hope of the heart is the heart of the home
A home of its own is the song of the soul
it's the swan of the solstice
it's the giving control to the source of the flow
as we float on the stone
only flesh over bone but were making it home
