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
