Mark Heard - Love Is Not The Only Thing lyrics

Sun rises and we talk about the weather
 Sun bleaches and we ponder it all 
The fine line between the banker and the debtor 
And what happens if the satellites fall
 Too shy we are to come right out and say it 
Too sly to let the other one know
 Head full of this kaleidoscope of brain-freight 
Heart full of something simple and slow Love is not the only thing 
It's the best thing 
Love is never everything
 But it's the best thing Too tired to read another twenty pages 
Too bored to see the anchorman's face
 Too young to bear the burdens of the ages 
Too old to keep an innocent pace 
You see me like a prism sees a candle
 I'm scattered into differing hues 
Reality is happening at random 
You're warming up the yellows and blues Love is not the only thing 
It's the best thing 
Love is never everything 
But it's the best thing Let's go up on the roof beneath the neon
 Pretend we're foreigners and drink the city in 
Somewhere between the stairwell 
and the starlight 
I find myself holding your hand 
Half-cousins to the angels and the demons 
Half-brother to the fatherless sons 
I lay awake and wonder at the reasons 
One kiss and I am lost in your charms Love is not the only thing
 It's the best thing 
Love is never everything 
But it's the best thing
