Love Is Better

Pick and eat Blue Crabs in a neighborhood the mob reputedly still haunts There's a sweet old man at the bar with his eyes closed Mouthing the words to the Kim Carnes song on the radio Knowing there's no way he can ever admit his lovesick truth, oh Not to his friend he just quietly gifted a new smartphone Through the open windows in the bar We feel the summer's heat And we all want another chance And a little understanding Love is better than anything else Rolling thickets caught in the fenced hill (?) The stock (?) just upped and walked away And "it will be okay" you say and you kiss my lips And I'm mouthing the words to the prayer I say each day Knowing you've got an aching feeling deep in your heart And I feel it too And you don't sleep well and you don't expect to But you always find a way to make what you do beautiful The rooftop stayed wet all day And I knew Love is better than anything else
