Peter Mulvey - Ithaca Lyrics
We got the newsIthica got snowIt was just that kind of dayAll I know is that you've gone and left us here belowAll I wish is that you'd stayWe leave this cursed city in the same way we come inWe trace the roadsOn the way out, we shed our certainties like clothesWe thought this was our sacrificeBut the world knew otherwiseAnd took you from usBefore your time, right before our eyesWe think we're walking homeBut you can't go there unless it wants youYou can stand on the streetsBut still the destination haunts youIs that where you are now?To have believed that's truest loveAin't it clever now that we have love and we don't have youIt took this much to make me seeStill I barely understandLove will always, always be larger and different than our plansLove will never listen to usAnd why should it?Love knows the scoreIt builds better songs than we doIt sings a better metaphor
