Indigo Girls – Love Of Our Lives lyrics

I open my hands up to see what I've got My days slip like coins into a slot they are gone And the shadows lie long I've been banking on a broken machine, left unattended like most of my dreams Rusty components of an unmarked song We've been staring down the brilliant dream, the sun burns our eyes We've been fighting for the love of our lives All around us things come apart, broken pieces and broken hearts Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing Person to person, nation to nation, heals the gate of communication While it's time the time sneaks her weathering We've been wanting to be held by binding ties We've been fighting for the love of our lives And when it breaks down I beg you don't go I sickle your ship I'm ready to blow I try to out think you with an army of words I strategize; I am fighting for the love of my life Iron, water, oxygen, scotch and soda or any combination starts the reaction Is there no mastermind of modern day Who can blueprint a plan to make love stay sturdy and weatherproof, ushering in a new revolution At the drawing board the hopeful ones still try How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives Explain Request ×
