Ours and Ours Alone

Sit by me on the beat up couch

Listen to the records that are blasting out

We knew every line through the end of the fade

We knew we were alive ‘cause we felt so afraid

Yeah - we were fear personified

Two wild birds - how high could we fly

Just to sink down like a stone

Into what is ours and ours alone

The long dry dirt road outside

Kicks up dust when the cars drive by

We were trying to guess where on earth it all goes

The future knows less than the past ever shows

Yeah - But we were not impressed

Two wild birds - dying to say yes

To escape out on our own

Into what is ours and ours alone

People seem to measure every treasure

Like some painting

So afraid someone will take it all away

Somethings will be confessed

In the flood - in the harvest

In the place where I fall with you today

I come to you ready to set sail

This is the end of something

But not the end of the trail

We wondered how much more

Or how much less we could take

We knew the real score

‘Cause everything else seemed so fake

Yeah - we tried another door

Two wild birds - hearts are bound to break

But our love is strong as bone

And its ours and ours alone
