Spirit Lyrics

Remember the time the vase broke on the floor

Remember the time I found that earring of yours

Remember the time you came home

Remember the time you went away

Can I stain a memory dye it rose or paint it over

When I called out to you love you ran off through a field of clover

I fell to my knees heard your voice across that empty space

As I rotated on the earth away to a different place

When the spirit moves you

You can be nothing but true

Should I indulge the pleasure of pain in constant measure

Or should I stow it all away bury each thought like a sandbox treasure

Your kiss like food your gaze like the finest wine

My intoxication makes it hard to stand up and toe the line

What do I have to do to get one look from you

What do I have to do to make our love burn through

When the spirit moves you

You can be nothing but true

I need such sustenance to get me through my days

Not the dust and dead leaves that line this wending way

Through a forest of knowledge full of poisoned apples and serpentine

Reminders of a time when we were intertwined

I could rewind the clock if i liked to a better day

I could stand outside and look on as through a window at a living room on a rainy Sunday

But how long until I caught cold

When the spirit moves you

You can be nothing but true

If I can't have everything is it all worth nothing

If I can't have anything do I not have one thing

If I can't have everything is it all worth everything

I think I may be on to something here
