Truly Something Fine Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Oh, love is a hand you hold 

When you think you've lost your mind 

It is bitter as persimmons 

Yet sweet of rose on vine 

It's the thorns upon the vines 

That sometimes tear two hearts entwined 

It's a gentle breath upon your cheek 

That is so truly something fine 

Oh, love is something truly fine 

Love is love and truly blind 

Love is only human kind 

Love is something truly fine 

Oh, love is something truly fine 

Something never looked to find 

Yet truly something fine 

Now you and I are roses 

Chose to wither on the vines 

With you, you're back to love 

With me, I've run from mine 

We are some kind of weather 

You're the storm blown 'cross my life 

I am a leaf of autumn 

A fallen tear of something fine 

Oh, love is something truly fine 

Love is love and truly blind 

Love is only human kind 

Love is something truly fine 

Love is something truly fine 

Something never looked to find 

Yet truly something fine 

From the shallows of the Mekong 

To my Liffey, Dublin's wine 

The tide turned me around 

And brought the taste of something fine 

And something's truly lost 

As I'll not try to change your mind 

The thorns of taking chances 

Made it something truly fine 

Oh, love is something truly fine 

Love is love and truly blind 

Love is only human kind 

Love is something truly fine 

And love is something truly fine 

Something never looked to find 

Yet truly something fine
