Lyrics
BEAUTIFUL SORROW OF LOVE
You had to leave town without saying goodbye
Life called you home but you didn?t say why
We talk on the phone to make up the time
You keep telling me everything is fine
I hang up and wonder if you?re really okay
Now I can feel what you didn?t say
At the end of a line, staring at your kitchen floor
Leaving out details that would?ve told me more
Chorus:
Beautiful sorrow of love is calling
Tears overflow, sparkling streams falling
Cross time and space
Your heart to mine
Is the love unspoken between all the lines
I?m tucked in the safety of my family?s love
Basking in rays of milk and honey from above
All we can do is breathe and hold on
Words float between us and then they?re gone
Bridge:
A river of truth through an open hand
An hourglass can hold an ocean of sand
The mind can?t explain what the heart understands
Chorus
