Love over All

Seems I had a kicking seems

You had your kicks

I feel like an old vaudeville magician

I just ran out of tricks

You can bet your sweet life upon

The rage swelling in my heart

But just like an old gramophone needle

I'm stuck on the saddest part of a love song

Maybe you ran out of love with an idea of me

Or did you want to paddle in the shadows

Perhaps you like the sound

Of something hollow

Maybe you ran out of love over all

I saw you as a pillar of strength

Here I am a pillar of salt

Just one small wave from the rising tide

And I've melted it's nobody's fault

If I could just budge that crackling needle

The chorus would soon resolvе

Into something that may be halfway soothing

Wherе bitterness dissolves into tenderness

Maybe you ran out of love with an idea of me

Or did you want to paddle in the shadows

Perhaps you like the sound

Of something hollow

Or maybe you ran out of love over all

This is such an ancient tale

Of love lost and betrayal

Two salt pillars soon liquid in the tide

Given humour of all things frail

There's a juggler in the weather

A magician struggles through his act

On the beachfront an old gramophone crackles

Some kid buries his father alive in the sand

Maybe you fell out of love with an idea of me

Or did you grace the pages of his novel

You had to have your breakfast in his hovel

Or maybe you fell out of love over all

Over all
