About Love

You left your coat beside the door
A little rain across the floor
The kettle sings, the evening bends
I hear your key before it ends

We’ve had our share of words like stones
Still every road leads us back home

About love, it’s the way we stay
When the easy words have slipped away
When the years leave lines upon our hands
And we still reach out, still understand
About love, it’s the choice we make
Every time the ground begins to shake
Through the silence, through the rise and fall
You are the heart of it all

Your old blue cup is chipped in two
I keep the better side for you
The porch light waits against the dusk
Like all the promises we trust

We’ve watched the seasons change their names
But something here remains the same

About love, it’s the way we stay
When the easy words have slipped away
When the years leave lines upon our hands
And we still reach out, still understand
About love, it’s the choice we make
Every time the ground begins to shake
Through the silence, through the rise and fall
You are the heart of it all

If tomorrow takes the map away
If every sure thing turns to gray
Take my hand, we’ll find the road
Two hearts can carry any load

About love, it’s the way we stay
With a little more grace every day
When the years leave lines upon our hands
We still reach out, still understand
About love, it’s the choice we make
Every time the ground begins to shake
Through the silence, through the rise and fall
You are the heart of it all
You are the heart of it all

About love
You are the heart of it all
