Lovers Do - Jim Guthrie

Choose

You own your blues

Like lovers do

Once more

This is what hope is for

And all the lovers that came

Before

I’ll know

I’ll know

I’ll know

That what I’ll give

Is easy to take

Like bullets from a gun

Like things behind the sun

Makes me proud

I won’t have to

Hurt so loud

An empty hotel

Silent and dark

And then my heart sparks

Won’t be a guest and

Get undressed

Like lovers do

Wane

Down lover’s lane

Make a right on lovers shame

And hold on

Hold

Hold on

Cause then a long time comes

And a long time goes

And the night grows

Cause what I’ll give

Is easy to take

Like bullets from a gun

Like things behind the sun

Like wine from a drunk

Like food from bodies shrunk

Makes me proud

I won’t have to

Hurt so loud

An empty hotel

Silent and dark

And then my heart sparks

Won’t be a guest and

Get undressed

Like lovers do

I’m empty you said

Like you were naming

An ocean

Shipwrecked soul

Causing a commotion

And staring at the seams

With eyes like laser beams

You got up and floated

Into the kitchen
