Love of our Lives

Love of our Lives （Band Version) - Indigo Girls
I opened my hands up
to see what I've got.
My days slip like coins
into a slot.
They are gone,
the shadows lie long.
I've been banking
on a broken machine.
Left unattended,
like most of my dreams.
Rusted components
of an unmarked song
We've been staring
down a brilliant dream
The sun burns our eyes.
We've been fighting
for the love of our lives
All around us things come apart.
Broken pieces. broken hearts,
Fix me, oil me, match me
with the next best thing.
Person to person,
nation to nation
Heels dug in no communication.
While the time speaks
of weathering
We've been wanting
to be helped by binding ties
We've been fighting
for the love of our lives
And when it breaks down,
I beg you don't go.
A sinking ship,
I'm ready to blow.
I try to out think you
with an army of words,
I strategize.
I am fighting
for the love of my life
Fire and water, oxygen
Scotch and soda,
or any combination
Starts the reaction.
Is there no mastermind
of modern day
Who can blueprint a plan
to make love stay
Steady and weatherproof
usher in a new revolution?
After trying more,
the hopeful ones still try.
How can we help it
When we're fighting
for the love of our live?
(Trying more)
The hopeful ones still try.
How can we help it
When we're fighting
for the love of our lives?
