Love Is Melancholy, But It’s All We’ve Got Lyrics by Vandaveer

The Wild Mercury

2016

[Verse 1]
Shutter your eyes
Calm the ringing in your ear
Steady your breath, honey
Lower your spear
We've been over this before
We both know we own a war
But the battlefield's bloodless and vacant
Still the belfry tolls
Every hour, on the hour
It's getting louder
Like some ancient and foreboding
Harbinger of what's to come
What's to come
Just another cumbersome
Argument over somethin’ older than the sun
There's time left on the clock
But our loom's completely shot
We're tied up and tangled in knots
And the troubled tales
We've been weaving
With hidden meaning
They're a bit deceiving
[Chorus]
I'm under no illusion
Love is melancholy, but it's all we got
Yeah, love is all we got, it’s all we’ve got
It might be all you need,
But it's all we've got
Oh, love is all we've got
[Verse 2]
Skip ahead to the last text
Study each and every line
Look me in the eye and tell me
I'm not left behind
We both knew this wasn't easy
There are ruts in every road
Honey, dancing is delicate and demanding
And I can't shake
This nagging feeling
That we’re both needing
A little healing
[Chorus]
I'm under no illusion
Love is melancholy, but it's all we’ve got
Yeah, love is all we got
It's all we've got
And it might be all you need
But it's all we've got
On this magnetic rocket
It’s all we've got
Honey, love
Oh, love is all we've got
