"Sweet And Low" lyrics

"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
