[Imelda May - Home lyrics]
"What is love?", you ask
My head spins, recallin' every song
Story, words
And glorious things I ever heard
Every cliché rings in my ears
Like a bell announcin' the birth of a new day
Or the death of yesterday
Depends on how you hear it i haven't a clue
So I ask love: "What are you?" love replies:
"Can't you feel me? I'm here
I'm the one holdin' your hand remindin'
You not to forget me
I'm the warm feelin' in your belly
When you don't know why
I'm the ache to the core when one someone
Sways to the other side of a vibe
I'm the tingle of your skin
When it's touched by
The tip of a thrill you can rely on
The knowing
When your eyes meet eyes that recognize yours
And hold you, loose enough to move freely
But tight enough to never let you fall
I'm the breath you take in and let
All the way out to the end when you're held
And your shoulders drop into arms
You flop that feel like a blanket of truth
And wrap you and sooth you
To the moon you thought was in the sky
I'm the backbone that holds it all together
The vertebrae stacked on top of each other
When it's all gone pear shaped and wrong
I'm the bitin' on your lip keepin' it zipped
Swallowin' words that could wound
And rip apart
I'm choosin' kindness over bein' right
I'm the fight in you when you don't know how
The light in you when it's gone right out
I'm life when I'm near, hope without fear
I'm nothin' fancy in a world drippin' in gold
But a beautiful jewel never bought
Never sold and when you open your heart
And let me in alone you'll know who I am
Because I feel like home"
My head spins, recallin' every song
Story, words
And glorious things I ever heard
Every cliché rings in my ears
Like a bell announcin' the birth of a new day
Or the death of yesterday
Depends on how you hear it i haven't a clue
So I ask love: "What are you?" love replies:
"Can't you feel me? I'm here
I'm the one holdin' your hand remindin'
You not to forget me
I'm the warm feelin' in your belly
When you don't know why
I'm the ache to the core when one someone
Sways to the other side of a vibe
I'm the tingle of your skin
When it's touched by
The tip of a thrill you can rely on
The knowing
When your eyes meet eyes that recognize yours
And hold you, loose enough to move freely
But tight enough to never let you fall
I'm the breath you take in and let
All the way out to the end when you're held
And your shoulders drop into arms
You flop that feel like a blanket of truth
And wrap you and sooth you
To the moon you thought was in the sky
I'm the backbone that holds it all together
The vertebrae stacked on top of each other
