From the recording Theory of Love
Lyrics
Long riding fences,
You’ve come to your senses,
A notion of love that is strong.
I’m used to clues from a lover that there might be,
All that you say so explicitly, forwardly,
And this both adds and detracts from the mystery,
Pause. We drown in theory of love.
And then you ask how it’s been for me, openly,
Welcoming stories of men that I’ve fallen for,
Previously. I divulge happily all of my,
History. Here’s how I’ve loved,
All without theory of love.
Shared ideals manifest, suddenly, subtly,
Laughter and glances and delicate mystery,
So there’s a beauty in expressing finally,
What you’ve both all along known.
The separateness seems to close.
In so few words,
I’m used to having to dig, just a little, but
Lovingly. You laid it all out in front of me,
Singing so openly, look at what I have to give.
And we think of the life that the other has lived.
I fear I’m a new song,
I’m projected upon,
So how could I not disappoint?
It’s true that for my whole life, all this love has been handed to me,
And that you’ve worked to build yours so,
Beautifully, beautifully, beautifully.
It’s true that for my whole life, all this love has been handed to me,
And that you’ve worked to build yours so,
Beautifully, beautifully, beautifully.
Well, I think you’re beautiful,
I know that you think that of me.
I think you’re beautiful,
That’s all definitively.
