Sweet and Low

Nothing tastes like sugar
It’s all sweet and low
Nothing drinks like lemonade
Nothing skips like stone
Nothing runs like water
When your one true love is gone
And every day that comes along
Has a silver medal on
Nothing soars like falcons
It’s all paper planes
Nothing stings like thistles
And nothing floods like rain
Nothing roars like fire
When you’re standing on your own
No shelter from the coming storm
Will ever feel like home
Nothing’s cut like diamond
It’s all shades of coal
Nothing breaks like tidal waves
Nothing mends like bone
Nothing tastes like sugar
When your love can never return
How to feel with half your heart
Is the toughest thing to learn
