G
Run like a race for family
         G
when you hear like you're alone
Em
The rusted gears of morning
   Em
to faceless busy phones
   C                (bass briefly to B)
We gladly run in circles
        C                    D 
but the shape we're meant to make
   G
is gone...

Love is a tired symphony 
you hum when you awake
Love is a crying baby 
mama warned you not to shake
Love is the best sensation
hiding in the lion's 
mane

[slide lead]

So I'll clear the road, the gravel
and the thornbush in your path.
Burn the scented oil 
that I'll drip into your bath
The water's there to warm you
and the earth is warmer when
    you laugh.

Love is a scene I render
when you catch me wide awake.
Love's a dream you enter
though I shake and shake and shake you
Love is the best endeavor waiting
in the lion's   mane.

[banjo lead]
