How Do You Keep Love Alive?

Lord, I miss that girl

On the day we met
The sun was shining down
Down on the valley
Riddled with horses running
Crushing them flowers
I would have picked for her
On the day she was born

She runs through my veins like a long black river
And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm

Oh my soul

What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy
What do you do
How do you keep love alive?

When it won't
What, what are the words they use
When they know it's over

"We need to talk," or
"I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"

I would've held your mother's hand
On the day you was born

She runs through my veins Like a long black river
and rattles my cage Like a thunderstorm

Oh my soul

What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean to be so sad?
When someone you love
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy

What do you do
How do you keep love alive?
When it won't
How do you keep love alive?
