Where Love Comes To Die

(album: Father Shadow - 2020)

Answers seem to change but the question stays the same
Did we grow together or as a deadly tumor
Bound to burst all over our long and winding story

No lighthouse in sight
And these are troubled waters
Strong currents, unseen rocks

When your love is deep
It will hurt the most
And it's in that depth that all the horrors dwell
They never sleep
No matter how much you cry
It's always down here where love comes to die

Our story was like the trials of Eurydice and Orpheus
But at times it looked more like the betrayal of Jason and Medea
There's never just a single battle in a long and weathered war
Some you win
And some you lose

Too late to pray
On judgment day
Just full bleed ahead
Through this heartbreak hurricane

When your love is deep
It will hurt the most
And it's in that depth that all the horrors dwell
They never sleep
No matter how much you cry
It's always down here where love comes to die

Time is the cruelest hangman of them all
And he gives no quarter
During our downfall
Tie the rope tight
So it will never sever
There's hope to be found in this world
For the hopeful of us
And for all the lovers that still fight

When your love is deep
It will hurt the most
And it's in that depth that all the horrors dwell
Love does not come cheap
Sow what you want to reap
Don't tear trust down
And you might never drown
