Down in the Meadow

Down in the meadow
Where you found me
years ago
Black smoke billows
From a flame
As white as snow
And no I will not return
To where I’ve been
No I will not turn
Again.
I hope I’ll learn from my lover
How to let go of all
She brought
Just as she will discover
All my flaws which I forgot
Because love is not
Just some state that you are in
But I’ll tell ya love
Is when you burn
Your lover’s sin.
I’ll tell ya love is when you
Burn
Your lover’s sin
If we were to unravel
All the fabric off our skin
Could we lay down our gavels
Seeing all that lies within
For if you want to find an excuse
You surely can
Of why you’d choose to lose your love
Of any man
Just know that love is not some state
That you are in
But I’ll tell ya love
Is when you burn
Your lover’s sin
Just know that love is not
Just some state
That you are in
But I’ll tell ya love
Is when you burn
Your lover’s sin
I’ll tell ya love
Is when you
Burn
Your lover’s sin.
Down in the meadows
Where you found me years ago
Black smoke billows
From the deeds I used to know.
