Love's Song

(альбом: Kudzu Wild - 2023)

Home was a joke but it wasn't worth a laugh
Love's heart was broken and the times were bad
She felt just like a ghost in the back of the class
Her dead-eyed stares through the window glass

It's a whole lot of hurt for a green-eyed girl
With her and only her and up against the world
Her school yard dreams and her bouncing curls
She liked taking off her necklace just to count the pearls

Every other corner could've been third base
Like she's almost home and it's almost safe
It's a memory so sweet she could almost taste
Before she bit down something pulled it away

I don't know why but it's the feeling I'd find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
I don't know why but it's the feeling I'd find
Like maybe God really left Love behind

High school hits a little harder than that
It gives every other girl another reason to laugh
Love felt just like a joke in the back of the class
The time moved slow and the notes got passed

It's a whole lot of hurt for a lonelier child
I was always busy wishing I could see her smile
Those whitewashed walls and the unswept tiles
Twenty minutes on the bus felt like a hundred miles

Now in every other corner I can see her face
In a home room class day after picture day
They're all still talking like they've anything to say
She left us all thinking it was us in the way

I don't know why but it's the feeling I'd find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
I don't know why but it's the feeling I'd find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
I don't know why but it's the feeling I'd find
Like maybe God really left Love behind
Maybe God really left Love behind
