This Love - Ryan Adams

Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in

And I could go, on and on, on and on, and I will

Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again

And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone

In silent screams, in wildest dreams

I never dreamed of this

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead

These hands had to let it go free

And this love came back to me

Tossing, turning, struggle

Through the night with someone new

And I could go on and on, on and on

Lantern, burning, flickered in my mind for only you

But you’re still gone, gone, gone

Been losing grip, oh, sinking ships

You showed up just in time

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead

These hands had to let it go free

And this love came back to me

This love left a permanent mark

This love is growing in the dark

These hands had to let it go free

And this love came back to me

This love, this love, this love, this love…

Your kiss, my cheek, unwashed, you leave

Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees

When you’re young you just run

But you come back to what you need

This love is good, this love is bad

This love is alive back from the dead

These hands had to let it go free

And this love came back to me

This love left a permanent mark

This love is growing in the dark

These hands had to let it go free

And this love came back to me

This love, this love, this love, this love…
