It's Usually Love
Well I knew, there'd be trouble, and I knew it long ago. When I let you have your way, with my heart and with my soul. Well my Mama cried, said you were no good, and of course she was right you were bothered. But I knew somehow, it would all work out, though I was damned one way or the other.
*So I said, row your boat ashore and lay with me, in the dark of night, beneath the tallest tree.Take your heavy heart and give me some room, to light the way and ignite the gloom. Every now and then, we all lose our minds and it's usually love that's behind it.
Well we danced a while and then we walked for miles, with no worries of the world, behind us. Then the sun come up just like it always does and it brings the wising up along with it.Well I loved you once and I loved you much, but there's no fixing what is damned to stay broken.
*CHORUS
