Sobering Love

Who are you darling to turn me to stone? You open my eyes but break all my bones Now you want to be together after so many years alone? Sing a song of sweetness or a melody of hope When a lump leaves my pants and lands in my throat How can two hands be tied without any rope? Now I'm always away But it's you I'm thinking of I was walking around stoned before your sobering love Now I had a dream for your soft paper hands The left one would carry my wedding band The right one would always be reaching for the man This is no home, though it may be your house house There was many of times I'd rather slept than kiss your mouth And I figured we can make it if I can figure you out Now I'm always away But it's you I'm thinking of I was walking around stoned before your sobering love My true love has left me I sigh and I slouch Up to the fridge then back to the couch I want to believe but there's so much doubt I told you then, when we was just teens I'd rather be in your heart Then be in your jeans I guess I always am, but only in dreams Now I'm always away But it's you I'm thinking of I was walking around stoned before your sobering love If I ever stayed, I'd thank the lord above For turning my heart back toward a drunken love
