about

A romp. Every line in this song is somebody I know. I've met the man who bought the gun. I've let the baby cry through the night. I've watched the flames of the fields burning after harvest time. Love is gentle, love is kind. But love will cut off an arm to save the man.

lyrics

Study of Love

Love makes people do crazy things
make you buy a gun, it’ll make you buy a ring
make you pick a headstone or a parakeet that sings

Love let the baby cry in the dead of night
sometimes throws a punch and sometimes throws the fight
love make the jailor pay a visit to the judge
love, give that envelope a nudge

Now, men in this world wrap their hearts in steel
liquor, lines, and pages trying not to feel
but somewhere in a blanket, a shivering memory
the seed of love was planted in you and in me

Love mends fences and presses grapes to wine
torches the earth after harvest time
cuts to the bone just to save another breath
love ain’t afraid of a mess
