"Real Love"

This is a poem transcribed into a song, and many of the tunes on their way now will be similar extractions from another medium. As you can imagine, I will not be running out of songs any time soon.

Love opens things

So love would hurt as much as heal

It would hurt first

until all you did was feel

Real love

would confuse, disarm, weaken, destroy

and seize... the... day...

along with everything in the way

of real love

Everything that was, in fact,

A part of you

Everything that was not true

and would conceal real love

Real love lasts forever

We do not last as long

until we become real love

when everything else is gone

Real love has come to town

Six guns blazing in a town full of lies

Now is the showdown and the duel in the street

Real love is the only thing standing

and it lays the world at your feet

Real love rides alone and...

squints out of one good eye

It nails the coffin shut

No one got out alive

and real love will always be

the one thing to survive

Real love is going to make you cry

Make it worse before it gets better

if you came along for the ride

It will tear you up inside

Real love lasts forever

We do not last as long

until we become real love

when everything else is gone

Real love...

Who would want such a thing?

It sucks the air out of the room

Breaks all your toys

Burns down your house

And steals your car

But you’re not... going... very... far

anyway...

Real love has got its hands on you

It burns from the inside out

and there is nothing left

for you to know about

Nothing but wide... wide prairie

And huge commanding stars

You’ve never been so alone

You’ve never been so complete

Outside this golden ring

The cities burn forever

And... you can never fall asleep

again…

Real love lasts forever

We do not last as long

until we become real love

when everything else is gone
