Is Love
She stares into the mirror, youth fading with the sunThe hollows in her face like wishing wellsScarlet as a paper-cut and jewelled as the Orion,She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl
She says "The only thing I've ever foundThat's greater than it always soundIs Love"
He stares into the river, heart falling to the driftAn argument of cars moving full steam behindBlood-shot as a baby, and sulking like a valleyFishing in reflections, killing time
He says "The only thing I've ever foundThat's greater than it always soundsIs Love"
It's the bath that's getting coldWhile you're frozen to your bed,The milk that's going rancid on the table
The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbinThe pointless items we forgot to labelIt's the perfume on her wrists that stinks of easy birthdaysThe spare keys like asbestos on the side
It's the cross around his neck for luck and not for honourLike diamond over knuckleOn a newly married bride
She says "The only thing I've ever foundThat's greater than it always soundsIs Love"He says "The only thing I've ever foundThat's greater than it always soundsIs Love"And I know the only thing I've ever foundThat's greater than it always soundsIs Love
