Love Is a Servant's Word

It’s the bed that’s made up at the homeowner’s cost It’s a medicine cabinet, with secrets untouched It’s a wartime story that you’ve never heard And love is a servant’s word It’s the hand that goes missing when you’re paying the rent It’s the gun that you keep in your glove compartment It’s a sunrise with no sleep and you’re up with the birds And love is a servant’s word Well I saw you crying Just as I tore myself in two And God knows I’m trying But love is a servant’s word It’s the songs that we lost when you drowned in the pool Your heart was so far gone that your body couldn’t move There was something inside, man the lines just got blurred When love was a servant’s word Well I saw you crying Just as I tore myself in two But God knows I’m trying And love is a servant’s word
