How Do You Keep Love Alive - Ryan Adams, The Cardinals

Lord, I miss that girl

On the day we met the sun was shining down

Down on the valley

Riddled with horses running

Crushing them with flowers

I would have picked for her

On the day she was born

She runs through my veins like a long black river

And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm

Oh my soul

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean to be so sad?

When someone you love

Someone you love is supposed to make you happy

What do you do

How do you keep love alive?

When it won’t

What, what are the words

They use when they know it’s over

«We need to talk,"or

«I'm confused, maybe later you can come over»

I would’ve held your mother’s hand

On the day you was born

She runs through my veins

Like a long black river and rattles my cage

Like a thunderstorm

Oh, my soul

What does it mean?

What does it mean?

What does it mean to be so sad?

When someone you love

Someone you love is supposed to make you happy

What do you do

How do you keep love alive?

When it won’t

How do you keep love alive?
