10,000 Maniacs - Love Among The Ruins lyrics

(Love among the ruins) The sky was falling (Love among the ruins) Heaven was calling (Love among the ruins) When danger crashes (Love among the ruins) Rose from the ashes Like two statues hidden inside ancient rock We were prayin' for the secrets to unlock And when the sun had turned its back on us Oh, in the dark our love kept track of us Oh, pushed together by the lack of love Oh, love among the ruins (Love among the ruins) The sky was falling (Love among the ruins) Heaven was calling (Love among the ruins) When danger crashes (Love among the ruins) Rose from the ashes We held each other tightly through our hell of dreams I still hear the never ending echo of those screams But it's a life not made for reliving It's a life that makes your soul forgiving We sealed our bond from the beginning Oh, love among the ruins Aching, affection, vulnerable protection Falling, captured, crawling, rapture (Love among the ruins) The sky was falling (Love among the ruins) Heaven was calling (Love among the ruins) Oh love, love
