Patty Griffin - A Word Lyrics

Patty Griffin Lyrics

"A Word"

A word, a tune
The light, the moon
An overhead thunderstorm in bed
An overgrown garden in my dreams
Keeps bursting at the seams with roses

And I believe
There's nothing more to see
In all of history
The mystery remains

A secret I had
I wanna share with you
A dusk, a dawn
Till everything is gone

And I believe in mornings after rain
In broken things and stains
And rivers heading home again
And oceans

And I believe the last will be the first
The love you leave on earth goes 'round forever
And I don't know how
As dreams keep burning down
To turn it all around
But I will never stop loving you
