Love Of Our Lives

I open my hands out to see what

I've gotMy days slip like coins into a slot they are gone

The shadows lie long

I've been banking on a broken machine

Left unattended like most of my dreams

Rusted 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, broken hearts

Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing

Person to person, nation to nation

Heels dug in, no communication

Wily time sneaks her weathering

We've been waiting 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 circle your ship,

I'm ready to blow

I try to outflank 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?

Drawing board the hopeful ones still try

How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives?
