Over The Rhine

All Of It Was Music
The night was bending in a grinAs streetlight shadows tattooed skinWhatever we were tangled inAll of it was musicThe bed sheets were our whitest flagThe war became a game of tagWe surrendered all we hadAnd all we had was musicThe humming of the window unitThe street noise often sang right through itA drunken song somehow we knew thatEven it was musicThe newness of uncovered skinYour messy hair your goofy grinYour shattered places deep withinAll of it was musicTo those I’ve wronged, Please forgive meI hope this song, helps you believe meThe holding on the letting goIt all gets buried soft and lowBut even then a song might growAll of it was musicLetras de cancionesWe left the city far behindWe traveled light we traveled blindWith no idea what we’d findOr whether we could use itThe rolling fields were lined by treesWild flowers brought us to our kneesThe poison ivy thick as thieves—We swung an ax to bruise itA place where we could rest awhileWhere hummingbirds could thrum for milesAnd we could leave the edges wildAnd let wild birds sing through usFires where all our sparks could scatterMidnight stars could drop their laddersI’m not sure any of it mattersBut all of it was musicTo those I’ve wronged, Please forgive meI hope this song, helps you believe meThe holding on the letting goIt all get buried soft and lowDon’t ask me how but I still knowAll of it was musicTo those I’ve wronged, Please forgive meI hope this song, helps you believe meThis world so full of joy and painWas more than one heart could containWe let it spill and flood the plainAll of it was music From Letras Mania
