Love's Recovery Lyrics - 1200 Curfews - Indigo Girls

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 its impurity 

Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together 

They've all gone and left each other 

In search for fairer weather 

We sit here in our storm 

And drink a toast to the slim chance of love's recovery. 

Here 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Meanwhile my 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 chocked 

Like silent screaming in a dream 

I search for our absolute distinction 

Not consent to bow and bend 

To whims of culture that swoop like vultures 

They're eating us away, (eating us away). 

They're eating us away to our extinction 

O how I wish I were a trinity 

So if lost a part of me 

I'd still have two of the same to live 

But nobody gets a life time rehearsal 

As specks of dust, we're universal 

To let this love survive be the greatest gift we could give 

Photos 

Tell all the friends who think they're so together 

That these are ghosts and mirages 

All these thoughts of fairer weather 

Though its stormy now I feel safe 

Within the arms of love's discovery.
