We were walking through the park

Found a kitten all alone

Looked like he was hitting bottom

We were nearing our own

We found love and light

On an autumn day And for a minute

The three of us were all okay

We found love and light

Why do reminders of death

Make me feel so alive

I could fall in love with a crisis But not with peacetime

Maybe we just wanted a war worth waging

We only stumble

When the ground stops shaking

Baby all we've got

Is this mess that we're making

But you can't tidy up a heart

That's breaking apart

All I wanted was a war worth waging

I only stumbled when the ground stopped shaking

I kept waiting for the war to come to me

When it does then maybe I'll be free All I've got is this mess I'm making Can't tidy up a heart that's breaking

I kept waiting for the war to come to me

When it does then maybe I'll be free

We found love and light on an autumn day

We brought him in from the cold, we brought him home to stay And for a minute the three of us were all okay

Even though we knew that soon we had to turn the page
