Ryan Adams And The Cardinals - How Do You Keep Love Alive lyrics

Lord, I miss that girl On the day we met the sun was shining down Down on the valley Riddled with horses running Crushing them with flowers I would have picked for her On the day she was born She runs through my veins like a long black river And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm Oh my soul What does it mean What does it mean What does it mean to be so sad When someone you love Someone you love is supposed to make you happy What do you do How do you keep love alive When it won't What, what are the words They use when they know it's over "We need to talk" Or "I'm confused, maybe later you can come over" I would've held your mother's hand On the day you was born She runs through my veins like a long black river And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm Oh my soul What does it mean What does it mean What does it mean to be so sad When someone you love Someone you love is supposed to make you happy What do you do How do you keep love alive When it won't How do you keep love alive When it won't
