Seldom Painless II

Did you ever think that I could take it all this time
Did you think that I meant to hurt you every time that I told you you were walking a line
You thought you'd float me like a river and I'd stay swept away
I was a dollar for your pocket
A feather in your jacket
The right adage that you needed to say
You'd hold me up if I was headed out the door like you had to grip your hat on a windy day
You were the river
You were the river
I was your rain

Just because I felt the lure of your silvery tone you hooked me like a rallying preacher
Just because I tried to soothe your brambling woes
And had my understanding with Jesus
You felt like sanctuary until you played with me like prey
I was smooth enough to burnish with the finest jade or agate
It took a lot to keep in your grace

Now you're lost
You're lost
You're lost you're lost you're lost
You and your river
you were the river 
I was your rain

I had my act all pulled together
And no mind of my own
If we argued any time I could feign that I was fine and say that
Love's a seldom painless plight
When you meet like the ocean and the bluff it'll crumble just a little every time there's a wave
I was the rock with the mussel and the starfish under water
I was a fighter to keep up your pace

Now you're lost
