 LOVE'S BLUE LIGHT SANG SO SWEETLY

    LOVE TURNED MY CURSING TO A
    WIND IN THE COTTON WOODS

    LOVE LIFTED MY BROKEN HEAD
       IN ITS FIERY WINGS

    LOVE COUNTED US ONE BY ONE
      WITHOUT LIGHT OR SCIENCE

      LOVE SHOWED ME ALL THE
   BROKEN THINGS I HAD EVER DONE

   LOVE SAID NO MATTER - THEY ALL
         SPRING FROM LOVE

        LOVE POURED A DRINK

    LOVE THREW AWAY THE BOTTLE

LOVE LICKED UP THE SHARDS

      LOVE CALLED OUT MY NAME

  LOVE IS A BRIGHT BLUE
  SEED FLOATING IN MY HEAD

 LOVE MOTIONED ME TO FOLLOW

    LOVE BROUGHT ME OUT

LOVE WILL TAKE ME BACK AGAIN.

LOVE IS ALL THIS LIGHT AND LIFE
 NEVER SEEN BEFORE

       LOVE CAN NOT LIE

LOVE WILL NOT CLAIM THE TRUTH

     LOVE IS IN YOUR EYES

     LOVE IS WHAT THERE IS.

LOVE JUST IS AND IS AND IS AND IS...

LOVE SAYS

I AM ...YOU ARE

AND NOTHING MORE
