Testo In Love But Not At Peace Dar Williams
Love took a long time, it followed me hereÃÂ
And it landed on light feet, and it whispered in my earÃÂ
Love spoke of my past as a valuable testÃÂ
And smiled, and said she who loves last loves bestÃÂ
'Cause you know life is hard, but now you also know your mind,ÃÂ
So now you're going out to love, but on your own side this timeÃÂ
Where you still think of famine, and you still dig up train fareÃÂ
And you won't mind the wrinkles, 'cause you know how they got thereÃÂ
In love but not at peaceÃÂ
In love but not at peace.ÃÂ
Once for me love was the boat inside of a bottle,ÃÂ
It felt like a gondola ride,ÃÂ
When you float with the nicknacks, and you don't hear a soundÃÂ
Where the fish never lived, and you don't miss the groundÃÂ
And the moon hangs above like a Valium pillÃÂ
And I say I'll be fine, but I don't think that I willÃÂ
But today I got work, and I like it that wayÃÂ
It's a case of a still life gone cinèèma veritèæÃÂ
In love but not at peaceÃÂ
In love but not at peace.ÃÂ
And I still need the beauty of words sung and spokenÃÂ
And I live with the fear that my spirit will be brokenÃÂ
And that's the way I thought it would beÃÂ
That's the way I always wanted it to be.ÃÂ
So I'll keep you wondering what time I'm arrivingÃÂ
And you'll drive me crazy with your backseat drivingÃÂ
And I'll talk in my sleep and you'll steal all the coversÃÂ
We'll argue it out and we'll call ourselves loversÃÂ
And I'll stay in my body and you'll stay in your ownÃÂ
'Cause we know that we're born and we're dying alone.ÃÂ
So we turn out the light while the sirens are screamingÃÂ
And we kiss for the waking, and then join the dreaming.ÃÂ
In love, but not at peaceÃÂ
In love, but not at peace.ÃÂ
