Been a Lover

Watched the sun come up this morning

Still amazes me sometimes

That something achingly familiar

Is still so beautiful and bright

Heard your song last week while driving

Still see you dancing through the room

My memory of love is vivid

The fire, the sweat, the bed, the bloom

I’m on nervous knees,

My uncertainties these days

In a blinking eye

It is shifting by, this phase

'Cause I have always been a lover

I have always been a lover

I have always been a lover

I have always been a lover of the chase

So I gathered up my broken pieces

Spread them like ashes through the air

‘cause I don’t have time for complications

Man, I’m just trying to find the confidence to dare

So I raise a glass to every good intention

I’m throwing out the clothes and wisdom I outgrew

One of these days, I’m gonna ask you out to dinner

But honey I’m always ever only passing through

So come on down, feel the air

This time of year I’m packing up and heading south

Got some friends out there, with songs to share

And I cannot wait to hear the notes come out their mouth
