From the recording What Does The Heart Know Of Love?
Lyrics
Hold for a moment
The memory’s the art
I’ll take you like a photograph
And hang you with the stars
They were ours
And if you’re going, then tell me
Why do you say it like you don’t mean it?
What does it take to love it and leave it?
There for a moment
That crinkle in your eye
A thesis of a thousand words
I’ll never hear you write
If you think we could only be
A temporary light, tell me
Why do you say it like you don’t mean it?
What does it take to love it and leave it?
Normandy called me away, a life ago
One night with you, and I stayed, oh!
You’re ruining it all
A martyr in a crucible
A beautiful mistake
You’ll burn us at the stake, but
Why do you say it like you don’t mean it?
What does it take to love it and leave it?
If there’s no way for me to believe you
What will it take to love you and leave you?
