Lyric Love And Regret

cold dawn won t comfort you
       cold coffee won t see you through
       cold sheets won t heal your heart
       your frozen fingers of your name so tarred

       i know so rarely that things come your way
       your ways are tender and your paths are straight
       your mind s not lived in the way ours are set
       your heart is open to love and regret

       rings and letters they pass you by
       you wish them well and seldom cry
       for stones and promises and wedding sighs
       you ve known the times that you ve lived and died

       these sailors come by and spend time ashoe
       their thoughts are hoarded as yours have been stored
       your mind s not lived in the way ours are set
       your heart is open to love and regret

       outside in the morning air
       i hear the soundtrack of the blues-harp player
       it touches feelings that you don t arouse
       knocks me back to that shuttered house
       take me back when they re all out
       take me back to that shuttered house

       i know so rarely that things come your way
       your ways are tender and your paths are straight
       your mind s not lived in the way ours are set
       your heart is open to love and regret

       love and regret
