Someone Else's Words Wednesday: Because I'm listening for love, too
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 Midnight
Stranded at a standstill by the streetlight
Wrestled it around and it just ain’t right
And nowhere are our angels to be found
Well it’s so deep,
Been round 1000 times and still you can’t sleep
You’re buzzing like a hive and it’s a big leap
To anything that feels like solid ground
It’s a big big wall but I’m gonna tear it down.
It’s a big big wall and I’m gonna tear it down.
It reminds me
Of nights that I spent hiding in the bindweed
Wondering if anyone would find me
Lying there afraid to make a sound
It’s a big big wall but I’m gonna tear it down.
It’s a big big wall and I’m gonna tear it down.
It’s only love it’s only love, you know it’s only love & everything
It’s only love it’s only love,
it’s only everything
` Lyrics by Kris Delmhorst, "Love & Everything," and with thanks to one of my fave single mamas, Kristi, for intuiting and insisting that I listen to it today. After too many 2 a.m. nights this month, I needed that. So happy she felt that.
