We live too hard to number days Make some plans, they’re always changin’ Throw a fit, and plan to leave Then she’ll rattle her fist, and her bones with me
Make a love that’s gonna last When she’s tired, help her laugh Sometimes the thought of growing older Has her scared, you know its cold out here
We’re the only ones who can write this song Give in to the night from a shallow wrong No need to tie and anvil from a string Tomorrow’s bound to leave if we both sing
Was it the thought that made you scared In the cupboard by the silverware Let the rain water the garden bed I’ll move the rocks; we’ll share the wine instead
We’re the only ones who can write this song Give in to the night from a shallow wrong No need to tie and anvil from a string Tomorrow’s bound to lead, if we both sing
When we look back on younger days The town grew up but the vows are safe Shuffle our feet, to a dotted eighth You rattle your fist, and shake your bones with me Make a love that lasts, and the love will lead
