Pearl Jam - The Loss of Love lyrics
[Pearl Jam - The Loss of Love lyrics]
See myself staggering through deep snow
Lugging blocks of wood yesterday an old man
Almost falling from bodily weakness
Look down on myself from above
Then front and both sides
White hair wrinkled face and hands
It's really not very surprising
That love spoken by my voice
Should be when I am listening ridiculous
Yet there it is
A foolish old man with brain on fire
Stumbling through the snow the loss of love
That comes to mean more
Than the love it'self and how explain that?
A still pool in the forest
That has ceased to reflect anything
Except the past remains a sort of half-love
That is akin to kindness
And I am angry remembering
Remembering the song of flesh
To flesh and bone to bone the loss is better
Lugging blocks of wood yesterday an old man
Almost falling from bodily weakness
Look down on myself from above
Then front and both sides
White hair wrinkled face and hands
It's really not very surprising
That love spoken by my voice
Should be when I am listening ridiculous
Yet there it is
A foolish old man with brain on fire
Stumbling through the snow the loss of love
That comes to mean more
Than the love it'self and how explain that?
A still pool in the forest
That has ceased to reflect anything
Except the past remains a sort of half-love
That is akin to kindness
And I am angry remembering
Remembering the song of flesh
To flesh and bone to bone the loss is better
