Nickel Creek - Love of Mine Lyrics
Love of mine, when you're bornI tell myself that you'll never dieAnd I throw my armsAround the girl who finds you,'Cause the world is rosierThrough your eyesI don't suppose you caught her name?Never mind; I'll just name herAfter you, love of mineAnd fashion her intoYour sweet, long-legged icon,Making our prayers holierSatisfied, love, that she gave us to each other—The only thing she's done for meThat you could never doFor it she'll always be rememberedAfter she discovers I don't love herHalf as much as youLove of mine, when she goes,Why can't you stay here with me?Love of mine, when you dieI tell myself that you never livedEven as I curse the girlWho says she'll find someone worthierOf the gift—Someone who wants to share it with her,Far away from those who take it to have and to hoardAnd now I'm stuck here trying to not remember;For all these pretty wordsIt wasn't her, but love that I adoredIt's my love I adoreLove of mine, when you're bornI tell myself that you'll never die
