lyrics

Lay down all your weapons, ye’ who bear!
The Lord above protects you if you dare,
To love each other blindly, more than anyone can bear.

Hate is just a weapon for those in pain,
So love the ones who hate you, all the same,
Drive it home and leave it there, wherever that came.

Loneliness will kick you when you’re down,
So go outside, and don’t ignore the town,
Just hold onto the ones who love you, wherever they are found.

Death will come and seem so damn surreal,
How is someone gone who was sitting just right here?
Reminds us all of the depth of love that everyone can feel.

When you’re sleeping on a mattress in the dark,
Love will find us all.

Politics is money, and money is dead,
Or if it breathes it will not fix your head,
You’d be wise to go now, searching for just ‘bout anything instead.

Love may come and try to do its part,
Or like a Greyhound bus, it may not even start
But when it’s real, and only when it’s real, then love can break your heart.

When you’re spilling all the ashes in the air, Run my love. Run my love. Run run, my love.

Living in the past is such a drag,
So I forged my name and forged another path,
After all this, time is the one damn thing that just don’t seem to last.

So I flew into the future by surprise,
Was windswept up in ever googly eyes,
An angel in a Westside girl disguise.

Truth will always find you in the end,
So make haste and get to making Truth your friend,
In your path, you’re bound to slip and fall. But run, my love. Run, my love. Run run, my love.

When you’re sailing away to the Tropic of Me,
Out of the blue, into the green!
You can’t be late honey, I’m in a dream that goes on, and on, and on.
Pack up the horses and send them away,
Out of the blue, into the grey!
We can’t be sure, they be knowing the way, but you do, you do, you do.
