Avalanche

Blue bell bonnie pale skin chapped lips on that night

Found a beginning without an end in those eyes

Fever pitch of young love oriented all our stars

Found our bed in the spin of the earth and all its charge

Oh that love, that love, couldn't see it coming

Couldn't see it coming

That love, that love, just felt the rumble then it hit me

Like an avalanche

Held you tight brown skin brown eyes, oh you cried

Tried to love you harder than a mother could have ever tried

But you grew up like a twisted vine and covered my light

Now my glow wants to break through the leaves, feed your fights

Oh that love, that love, couldn't see it coming

Couldn't see it coming

That love, that love, just felt the rumble then it hit me

Like an avalanche

Baptized you in the river of my grief

Didn't know I was doing anything

Tried to keep you still so I would stop shaking

The day you left I felt the freedom of

That love, that love

That love, that love

That love, that love

Oh that love, that love, couldn't see it coming

Couldn't see it coming

That love, that love, just felt the rumble then it hit me

Like an avalanche
