When I discovered love
In all it's consequences
I was instantly smashed into
Hundreds of tiny fragments

I think I'll spend this life, trying
To gather them all

I've found them in people
& places & mornings & water

I found one again
In a breath of fresh air
In a smoky city

But it didn't resolve me
Only shattered more pieces
& that's ok.

When I Discovered Love

Keep wading in
There's something good here
Wild ones who clamber thin veneers
Who're breathing it
But won't embolden
Left lonely animals to fear

It's in every road you travel
Tangled in your mind, unraveled
Think of all the nights
You howled for love

Seek bravely
Tree-bare beginnings
Two winter-weathered wanderers
Retreating in
Punch drunk & weary
If only one would persevere

But it's in every road you travel
Tangled in your mind, unraveled
Think of all the nights
You howled for love
But it's in every road you travel
Tangled in your mind, unraveled
Think of all the nights
You howled for love

Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh

It's in every road you travel
Tangled in your mind, unraveled
Think of all the nights
You howled for love

Keep wading in
There's something good here
Wild ones, who clamber thin veneers

Lovely Nothing
