Landfill

I could build a landfill of dreams I deserted Swallowed up like muscadine wine I look for the stray wolves out in the distance They lick their lips on the timberline Garbage and the ash keep piling up A catastrophe that is yours and mine They say it takes time to become timeless Time is all I've got this time Once in a while you stop to notice Something that's been there from the start I made love and love made me But only love can tear you apart The Sahara winds blew all the dust in Little white birds like shells in the sand No one tells you when you're young, you have so much to lose Until you watch it slip through your hands I put myself in my own painting Those mournful blues and a blood red rose Know, the picture's always changing You can't change how the story goes Once in a while you stop to notice Something that's been there from the start I made love and love made me But only love can tear you apart Only love can tear you apart Love
