It Was Love Lyrics

It Was Love

It came down from the heavens

It rose up through the earth

They summoned appraisers

To find out what it was worth

They gathered their samples

Sealed them up in their vests

Sent them off to the lab

And put them through tests

It seeped through the topsoil

It rained down from above

And when it had dried up

They realized it was love

A mystery solved too late to enjoy what it had to give

An unused plate at the table, a life they forgot to live

Solitude dances alone, unwilling to take a chance

A destitute hound dog digs up a bone

But he'll never find romance in the dirt

They never released him

They never gave him a trial

They put him in prison

With the ultimate smile

Sent him to breakfast

And walks in the yard

They said you're too vain

To be insane

And life just isn't that hard

It seeped through the topsoil

It rained down from above

And when it had dried up

He realized it was love

A mystery solved too late to enjoy what it had to give

An unused plate at the table, a life they forgot to live

Solitude dances alone, unwilling to take a chance

A destitute hound dog digs up a bone

But he'll never find romance in the dirt

She climbed up a mountain

With blood on her hands

Drank from a fountain

While poets and one man bands

Watched her undress there

And fall to her knees

A goddess repenting with no one to please
