Progress of Love - Joe Henry[00:00:00]

This is the progress of love that I fear[00:00:13]

You retreat just as my defeat finally nears[00:00:19]

What's only to lose myself I volunteer[00:00:26]

So all of your spoils could be mine[00:00:33]

Life takes root in the deepest dark ground[00:00:40]

Where bones blood and honor have been trampled down[00:00:46]

And beaten like ponies and driven to town[00:00:53]

Where reason is traded for rhyme[00:00:59]

Your sailor is my lawyer[00:01:06]

Your seamstress suits my king[00:01:13]

But you are the mouth of the river[00:01:19]

The star of my every dream[00:01:25]

Some young punk cut a wire the sun fell in the yard[00:01:34]

We gathered round it and we kicked it hard[00:01:42]

We passed around flowers and wine and we cried oh Lord[00:01:48]

Now here comes the night[00:01:56]

Our every word now we talk in blues[00:02:01]

A hymn to the life we're all bound to lose[00:02:08]

We'd die for more but we still refuse[00:02:14]

To live without a fight[00:02:20]

Your sailor is my lawyer[00:02:27]

Your seamstress suits my king[00:02:33]

But you are the mouth of the river[00:02:39]

At the start of my every dream[00:02:45]

We say never forget and mean never forgive[00:02:55]

No never as long as ever we live[00:03:02]

It offends all our dead to surrender this[00:03:08]

To even think we might go on[00:03:14]

And freedom doesn't need to be free when it sells[00:03:21]

Like ocean waves offered from inside of shells[00:03:27]

We bet the farm trying to ring it's bells[00:03:34]

While love still goes for a song[00:03:40]

Your sailor is my lawyer[00:03:47]

Your seamstress suits my king[00:03:53]

But you are the mouth of the river[00:03:59]

At the start of my every dream[00:04:05]
