Chantal Kreviazuk - Love's Recovery Lyrics
Words & music: emily saliersDuring the time of which I speakIt was hard to turn the other cheekTo the blows of insecurityFeeding the cancer of my intellectThe blood of love soon neglectedLay dying in the strength of its impurityMeanwhile our friends we thought were so togetherTheyve all gone and left each otherIn search of fairer weatherAnd we sit here in our storm and drink a toastTo the slim chance of loves recoveryThere I am in younger days, star gazingPainting picture perfect mapsOf how my life and love would beNot counting the unmarked paths of misdirectionMy compass, faith in loves perfectionI missed ten million miles of road I should have seenMeanwhile our friends we thought were so togetherLeft each other one by one on the road to fairer weatherAnd we sit here in our storm and drink a toastTo the slim chance of loves recoveryRain soaked and voice chokedLike silent screaming in a dreamI search for our absolute distinctionNot content to bow and bendTo the whims of culture that swoop like vulturesEating us away, eating us awayEating us away to our extinctionOh how I wish I were a trinitySo if I lost a part of meId still have two of the same to liveBut nobody gets a lifetime rehearsalAs specks of dust were universalTo let this love surviveWould be the greatest gift that we could giveTell all the friends who think theyre so togetherThat these are ghosts and miragesAll these thoughts of fairer weatherThough its storming out I feel safe within the armsOf loves discovery
