Random Details of Love Lyrics

Verse 1

Every time

I write this song,

it ends the same way

– wrong,

because I always love

with the same heart.

You’d think I’d know

right from the start

I’m bringing my careless heart along.

 

Verse 2

Love was stolen

from you

by the gypsies

of your soul;

you think you

know what to do

about love,

but it’s not the same,

and you can barely recall its name.

 

Chorus

Random details of love, you and me,

always busy laying arcane tracks

across the wilderness, the rugged country

of our souls; we’re burdened by these facts,

by these facts

 

 

Verse 3

You know

some things about life:

it always

seems to aspire

to a certain

amount of strife,

the forfeit of youth,

it requires

so wisdom can be yours to acquire.

 

Verse 4

Pure love

is what you

gave up

in heaven

to achieve

this breakthrough

into a body

here on Earth . . .

sometimes you forget it’s true.

 

Chorus

Random details of love, you and me,

always busy laying arcane tracks

across the wilderness, the rugged country

of our souls; we’re burdened by these facts,

by these facts

 

Bridge

Hints are not real

as much as you want to steal

truth from them.

 

What your heart really needs

is to know love always recedes;

 

but your soul also believes

love always comes back, and shows

an equal amount for your needs;

 

for everything on Earth, Love knows,

truly ebbs and flows . . . . then achieves.

 

Instrumental

 

Chorus

Random details of love, you and me,

always busy laying arcane tracks

across the wilderness, the rugged country

of our souls; we’re burdened by these facts,

by these facts
