Kirsten Opstad - Love Is Leaving Lyrics

Once you were a person who arrived on time
With eyes as bright as shoes just shined
All right ideas and tight Levis
When you closed your eyes
You fantasized that things would be all right

You took a road that no one knows about
Wound throughout the woes,
Highest highs and lowest of lows
You learned that hope is often dwarfed by doubt
Heavy hearts resound
Quiet now, you can hear them sound

Once you had motor and the will the drive
A slide-rule mind with fuel to fly
All-night rides and blown stoplights
When you closed your eyes
Never mind, you never closed your eyes

You took a road that no one knows about
Wound throughout the woes,
Highest highs and lowest of lows
You chased the work around a roundabout
Mind outshouts your mouth
Thought so loud you couldn't hear a sound

Now we an aging forest with boughs so high
With roofs of leaves that frame the sky
The loops repeat: birds crow, wolves cry

When you close your eyes
Curtains rise; you're blinded by the light
You took a road that no one knows about
Wound throughout the woes,
Highest highs and lowest of lows
Made your peace up on the mortal mount
Sounding through the throws
Love is leaving everything you know

Oh,

Write it on your throat
Love is leaving everything you know
