What Is Love - Lisa Mitchell

I remember when we met

We were drinking whiskey, neat

And and you looked too long at me

But I didn’t turn away

I saw a stranger in your eyes

In the cold fluorescent light

And you’ve got those dingo eyes

And I couldn’t turn away

Oh, I try on the dance floor

Yeah, I try to show you

Burn your candles bright

There’s a darkness in this night

And maybe I’m just tired of walking alone

I try, up on this stage

Yeah, I try to hold you

Oh, what is love?

Without you?

What is love?

Without you?

Well, that silent river sings

Me all her lonesome hymns

And I take my seat against the bank

Watching the stars, Jupiter and Mars

And I didn’t mean to fall asleep

But at the river, time does not keep

And I woke up in the front-row seat of the greatest show on Earth,

for what it’s worth

An empty purse, is all you need

A birth of bees

Will I ever be, what you are to me?

And I remember, when we met

We were drinking whiskey, neat

And and you looked too long at me

And I haven’t turned away
