Oh Love

(album: Wave Your Flags - 2019)

Oh love, believe me
Nothing ever comes to us easy
The river's never run up to meet me
Gotta find your own way down
And in this cruel storm
Love you got my back like a fog-horn
Anything I lack can be reborn
Anytime you come around
But where d'you turn to
Wandering the streets that have spurned you
Love, it's just that nobody's earned you
But I will never let you down

Oh love, running down my skin like it's too much
Never cried about a thing until now but
Us, us
Oh love, where do I begin with my hard luck?
The walls are closing in but my heads up, up

And if you need more, just hold out your hands
Cos it's all yours
Boy I'd break the damn to be your source
And I'd never let you drown
And hey believe me
Nothing's worth the love that comes cheaply
Hold it back or give it up freely
And it'll never let you down

Oh love, running down my skin it's too much
Never cried about a thing until now but
Us, us
Oh love, where do I begin with my hard luck?
The walls are closing in but my heads up, up, up

The first to fall against the grain
Must bare the weight and bare the strain
Of everything that it brings
And every queen and every king
Looks to the sky when there's nothing to do

But you love, running down my skin like it's too much
Never cried about a thing until now but us, us
Oh love, where do I begin with my hard luck
The walls are closing in but my heads up, up, up

Oh love, oh love
Oh love, oh
Oh love, oh love
Oh love, oh
