Weight Of The Question


I know what love is for
I can't tell you bout it now
But I feel it more every day

Strange to revel in this feeling as
The Devil's kicking down the door
Cause love alone
Can't bear the weight of the question

If the answer's always more
I love for the call
My friends all sing each other's songs
And try to feel it all every day

We're digging up the bones
Of feelings of old
Digging down to the core
Because love alone
Can't bear the weight of the question
If the answer's always more

When you get the notion
That the ocean can't hold
All the love in your heart it's true

Cause they're sweeping up the ocean bottom
Like the leaves in the autumn
And it ain't to make room for the love
Of me and you

I give thought to the loom
Which to my woven soul is home
But this body's on
The only home I've known

How strange to revel in a heaven never known
As we're throwing what we've got out the door
Cause love alone
Can't bear the weight of the question
If the answer's always more
