When Love Was King Lyrics - The Common Linnets - The Common Linnets

When pain didn't reign and love was king 

We could wash our hands of most anything 

I inherited my fathers sin 

I was born and raised in the midst of it 

Before a preacher spoke those words in vain 

And holy men would bow their head 

For I was a I am 

The older son of Abraham 

The day I drowned in fire and storm 

I found out, what I'd always known 

I still remember, I still see 

A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness

When pain didn't rain and love was king 

My daddy was a gambler, drinking man 

Showed his love with the back of his hand 

Never saw him smile, not a flicker of graze 

I think he buried him with momma in a Tennesse clay 

The day I drowned in fire and storm 

I found out, what I'd always known 

And I still remember, I still see 

A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness 

When pain didn't reign and love was king

The day I drowned in fire and storm 

I found out, what I'd always known 

And I still remember, I still see 

A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness 

When pain didn't reign and love was king 

A heart that trusts and avoids that sadness 

Back when pain didn't reign and love was king
