Love's Recovery Lyrics - Chantal Kreviazuk

Words & music: emily saliers 

During the time of which I speak 

It was hard to turn the other cheek 

To the blows of insecurity 

Feeding the cancer of my intellect 

The blood of love soon neglected 

Lay dying in the strength of it's impurity 

Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together 

They've all gone and left each other 

In search of fairer weather 

And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast 

To the slim chance of love's recovery

There I am in younger days, star gazing 

Painting picture perfect maps 

Of how my life and love would be 

Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection 

My compass, faith in love's perfection 

I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen 

Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together 

Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather 

And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast 

To the slim chance of love's recovery 

Rain soaked and voice choked 

Like silent screaming in a dream 

I search for our absolute distinction 

Not content to bow and bend 

To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures 

Eating us away, eating us away 

Eating us away to our extinction 

Photos 

Oh how I wish I were a trinity 

So if I lost a part of me 

I'd still have two of the same to live 

But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal 

As specks of dust we're universal 

To let this love survive 

Would be the greatest gift that we could give 

Tell all the friends who think they're so together 

That these are ghosts and mirages 

All these thoughts of fairer weather 

Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms 

Of love's discovery
