Everything About It Is a Love Song

[Verse 1]

Locked in a struggle for the right combination

Of words in a melody line

I took a walk along the riverbank of my imagination

Golden clouds were shuffling the sunshine

[Chorus 1]

But if I ever get back to the twentieth century

I guess I'll have to pay off some debts

Open the book of my vanishing memory

With its catalogue of regrets

Stand up for the deeds I did

And those I didn't do

Sit down, shut up, think about God

And wait for the hour of my rescue

[Bridge]

We don't mean to mess things up, but mess them up we do

And then it's "oh, I'm sorry"

Here's a smiling photograph of love when it was new

At a birthday party

Make a wish and close your eyes

Surprise, surprise, surprise

[Verse 2]

Early December and brown as a sparrow

Frost creeping over the pond

I shoot a thought into the future and it flies like an arrow

Through my lifetime and beyond

[Chorus 2]

If I ever come back as a tree or a crow

Or even the wind-blown dust

Find me on the ancient road

In the song when the wires are hushed

Hurry on and remember me

As I'll remember you

Far above the golden clouds, the darkness vibrates

The earth is blue

[Outro]

And everything about it is a love song

Everything about it

Everything about it is a love song

Everything about it
