In love but not at peace Song Lyrics
In love but not at peace by Dar Williams
And it landed on light feet, and it whispered in my earÂ
Love spoke of my past as a valuable testÂ
And smiled, and said she who loves last loves bestÂ
'Cause you know life is hard, but now you also know your mind,Â
So now you're going out to love, but on your own side this timeÂ
Where you still think of famine, and you still dig up train fareÂ
And you won't mind the wrinkles, 'cause you know how they got thereÂ
In love but not at peaceÂ
In love but not at peace.Â
Once for me love was the boat inside of a bottle,Â
It felt like a gondola ride,Â
When you float with the nicknacks, and you don't hear a soundÂ
Where the fish never lived, and you don't miss the groundÂ
And the moon hangs above like a Valium pillÂ
And I say I'll be fine, but I don't think that I willÂ
But today I got work, and I like it that wayÂ
It's a case of a still life gone cin¨¨ma verit¨¦Â
In love but not at peaceÂ
In love but not at peace.Â
And I still need the beauty of words sung and spokenÂ
And I live with the fear that my spirit will be brokenÂ
And that's the way I thought it would beÂ
That's the way I always wanted it to be.Â
So I'll keep you wondering what time I'm arrivingÂ
And you'll drive me crazy with your backseat drivingÂ
And I'll talk in my sleep and you'll steal all the coversÂ
We'll argue it out and we'll call ourselves loversÂ
And I'll stay in my body and you'll stay in your ownÂ
'Cause we know that we're born and we're dying alone.Â
So we turn out the light while the sirens are screamingÂ
And we kiss for the waking, and then join the dreaming.Â
In love, but not at peaceÂ
In love, but not at peace.Â
