What Do You Love More Than Love Lyrics - Dar Williams

Well, the mountain was so beautiful 

That this guy built a mall and a pizza shack 

Yeah, he built an ugly city because 

He wanted the mountain to love him back 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

When you know that you won't get your heart in that stone 

When you drop your tools and you stand alone 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Well, when my love felt like another addiction 

I held my breath and I packed my bags 

And I went to the land of the monastery 

And the sunshine children and the prayer flags 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

When you feel your soul go beyond your skin 

When you know that's the way that it's always been 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Well, I climbed a mountain and I thought about attachment 

I thought about the Buddhist king 

He said, "You can keep your superpower 

It just short circuits my country" 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

When you question what your desire is for 

When you don't just figure that you just want more 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Well, I love the way the world is your garden 

You plant your seeds and you let them grow 

And you dig things out of the ground just like 

You take what comes but you never know 

Yeah, and the mountain is so beautiful 

And we don't know if we're any good at all 

And we give our love when we think we still need it 

Yeah, we give and give and fall and fall 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

When the giving is all that you ever get back 

Oh, how long do you love like that 

Can you tell me, oh, how to love 

Hey, what do you love more than love 

Hey, what do you love more than love
