You're the bump in the old dirt road
That tells me I'm almost home
You're the secret easement where the rain water flows
And we follow to the flowers down below
You're my first thought every time there is a story to be told
You're the page I can't turn and I fold
I was a fool to think that I could stop loving you
I can walk through this forest alone
I stand tall at the edge of the storm
I can cross the high water
Stay awake for my daughter
Carry the ark in my arms
When I passed through the gauntlet
Until you showed I didn't know I was starving and cold
I was a fool to think that I could stop loving you
You're the sigh I breathe after I unload
The burden of a secret and I float
You're the tear in my pocket 'cause my riches burned holes
When I thought that love was too dull
We blazed like a rocket from the moment we met
But I was brazen thought that I was meant to jet
I was a fool to think that I could stop loving you
Though my scars are still bleeding
I'm leaving the grieving to the hopeless who adhere to the rules
I said goodbye
But I changed my mind
And stand before you
I was a fool to think that I could stop loving you
