Lyrics
In Love's Oblivion
© 2007/2021 All Words and Music by Warren Hein
Verse 1
(Female vocal in duet version)
All we've found
All the good that comes around
Is much more than our stories tell
Verse 2
(Male vocal)
The chances we take
Are nothing to all the love we make
And our hope is nothing we would sell
Chorus (both singers/male harmonize in duet version)
All my worries
You've helped them fade to black
They found a phoenix's back
To hitch a ride on
My old failures
No longer have a say
You've helped me lock them away
In love's oblivion.
Verse 3
(Female vocal in duet version)
With all we've seen
It's fair to say it's not a dream
We'll soon wake up from
Verse 4
(Male vocal in duet version)
The wick burns slow
The candle reflects its afterglow
But I can still read your body
Chorus (both singers/female harmonize)
All my worries
You've helped them fade to black
They found a phoenix's back
To hitch a ride on
My old failures
No longer have a say
You've helped me lock them away
In love's oblivion
Outro Verse (both singers in duet version)
With all we've seen
It's fair to say it's not a dream
That we'll soon wake up from
