In Love But Not At Peace

Love took a long time, it followed me here
And it landed on light feet, and it whispered in my ear
Love spoke of my past as a valuable test
And smiled, and said she who loves last loves best
Cause you know life is hard, but now you also know your mind,
So now youre going out to love, but on your own side this time
Where you still think of famine, and you still dig up train fare
And you wont mind the wrinkles, cause you know how they got there
In love but not at peace
In love but not at peace.
Once for me love was the boat inside of a bottle,
It felt like a gondola ride,
When you float with the nicknacks, and you dont hear a sound
Where the fish never lived, and you dont miss the ground
And the moon hangs above like a Valium pill
And I say Ill be fine, but I dont think that I will
But today I got work, and I like it that way
Its a case of a still life gone cinéma verité
In love but not at peace
In love but not at peace.
And I still need the beauty of words sung and spoken
And I live with the fear that my spirit will be broken
And thats the way I thought it would be
Thats the way I always wanted it to be.
So Ill keep you wondering what time Im arriving
And youll drive me crazy with your backseat driving
And Ill talk in my sleep and youll steal all the covers
Well argue it out and well call ourselves lovers
And Ill stay in my body and youll stay inyour own
Cause we know that were born and were dying alone.
So we turn out the light while the sirens are screaming
And we kiss for the waking, and then join the dreaming.
In love, but not at peace
In love, but not at peace.
