Love's Not Where We Thought We Left It - John Hiatt

In the forest of no gravity

Where birds mock reality

We laid out some bread crumbs

Yeah but somebody ate 'em

Always thought we’d make it here

But here keeps movin'

How much blood

How many tears

It’s never been proven

Love’s not where we thought we left it Who took the last of love and kept it Caged love in tried to protect it Love’s not where we thought we left it The apostles were jealous

of Mary Magdalene and Jesus

Said why do you love her more than us Jesus turned back in disgust

Said why do I love her more than you

The answer is a question

Just ask yourself what can I do To gain my lord’s affection

Love’s not where you thought you left it Who took the last of love and kept it Caged love in tried to protect it Love’s not where we thought we left it When men become more ladylike

I’ll see you in the candlelight

When women come to be like men

We’ll be ashamed to fight again

No jealous God’s the only one

Father, mother, ghost and son

Love’s unorthodox

Changes all of nature’s clocks

To time remaining

Just twenty-four hours

For lovers in training

Bitter, salty, sweet and sour

Love’s not where we thought we left it Who took the last of love and kept it Love’s not where we thought we left it Who took the last of love and kept it Love’s not where we thought we left it
