What Love Entails

Lyrics

Oh god, you are a tricky one Like the fulsome, roaring sea Got a whole lot of anger behind my tongue And I'm saving it all for thee What's the good of this world that you brought me to If you fill up my eyes with tears When I'm deaf to the birds and your trembling words For the curses that fill my ears And lord you've made me travel Till my boots wore through at the heels But to shake his love must I truly lie And be broken upon your wheel? I will roll on down like a thundercloud All full of light and of rain But when it's spent, each increment Comes back to me again Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh-oh oh And god, you know the heart of me Is built from solid stuff I may seem to crumble like the sand But like glass, I break and I cut And the thousand pieces of my heart That were all trodden down in the dirt They may rise up like a bird in flight But they never can shake this hurt And god, you are a tricky one Like the salt sea in my ears And when I die if I come to you There'll be questions in my tears What's the good of this world that you brought me to When the good in a man is so frail Nobody will ever love again When they know what love entails Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh So put your fingers to your lips Lest you tell what love entails
