231229: What Love Does

from Leap Songs, Part 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Spiritual beings
Having a human experience
On the night when I met you

Living and breathing
With our limbs and minds all bent
I swear this much is true

When the days are short and the nights are long
When you lose all sense of where you belong
When the best you've got don't feel good enough

I'll be by your side keep you safe and sound
I'll be close behind walk without a doubt
I'll be up above like a goddamn dove
Because that's what love does

If pain is a question
Pleasure is just a guess
About as graceful as a gun

If there's a heaven
We'll finally get some rest
But until that time shall come
