Indigo Girls - Love's Recovery Lyrics

Send "Love's Recovery" Ringtone to Cell Phone

during the time of which i speak 
it was hard to turn the other cheek 
to the blows of insecurity 
feeding the cancer of my intellect 
the blood of love soon neglected 
lay dying in the strength of its impurity 
meanwhile our friends we thought were so together 
they've all gone and left each other 
in search of fairer weather 
and we sit here in our storm and drink a toast 
to the slim chance of love's recovery 

there i am in younger days, star gazing 
painting picture perfect maps 
of how my life and love would be 
not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection 
my compass, faith in love's perfection 
i missed ten million miles of road i should have seen 
meanwhile our friends we thought were so together 
left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather 
and we sit here in our storm and drink a toast 
to the slim chance of love's recovery 

rain soaked and voice choked 
like silent screaming in a dream 
i search for our absolute distinction 
not content to bow and bend 
to the whims of culture that swoop like vultures 
eating us away, eating us away 
eating us away to our extinction 

oh how i wish i were a trinity 
so if i lost a part of me 
i'd still have two of the same to live 
but nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal 
as specks of dust we're universal 
to let this love survive 
would be the greatest gift that we could give 
tell all the friends who think they're so together 
that these are ghosts and mirages 
all these thoughts of fairer weather 
though it's storming out i feel safe within the arms 
of love's discovery
