Every Lover Knows

Every step returning

Is just as sorely made

As those departing

And the same quickening pace

That every lover knows

That every lover knows

That every lover knows

The truth is

Every truth is tested

By the world

Until it's busted, twisted, or frayed

As every lover knows

As every lover knows

As every lover knows

Love is just a witness to this

Century of reckoning and pain

Eternity is here

And home is far away

Landowner

At the hardware store

Will be defeated by the summer

And the days of heavy storm

That every lover knows

That every lover knows

That every lover knows

Love is just a witness to this

Century of reckoning and pain

Eternity is here

And home is far away
