Sobering Love (iTunes Session)

Who are you darling to turn me to stone?
You open my eyes but break all my bones
Now you want to be together after so many years alone?

Sing a song of sweetness or a melody of hope
If a lump leaves my pants and lands in my throat
How can two hands be tied without any rope?

Now Im always away
But its you Im thinking of
I was walking around the stone before your sobering love

Now I had a dream for your soft paper hands
The left one would carry my wedding band
The right one would always be reaching for the man

This is no home, though it may be our house
There was many of times Id rather shut than kiss your mouth
And I figured we can make it if I can figure you out

Now Im always away
But its you Im thinking of
I was walking around the stone before your sobering love

My true love has left me
I sigh and I slouch
its up to the fridge then back to the couch
I want to believe but theres so much doubt

I told you then, when we were just teens
Id rather be in your heart
Then be in your jeans
I guess I always am, but only in dreams

Now Im always away
But its you Im thinking of
I was walking around the stone before your sobering love

If I ever stayed, Id thank the lord above
For turning my heart back toward a drunken love
