Nanci Griffith - Truly Something Fine lyrics

(Nanci Griffith - James Hooker) Oh love is a hand you hold When you think you've lost your mind It is bitter as persimmons Yet as sweet of rose on vine It's the thorns upon the vines That sometimes tear two hearts entwined It's a gentle breath upon your cheek That is so truly fine Chorus Love is something truly fine Love is love and truly blind Love is only human kind Love is something truly fine Oh love is something truly fine Something never looked to find Yet truly something fine You and I are roses Chose to wither on the vines With you, you're back to love With me, I've run from mine We are some kind of weather You're the storm blown 'cross my life I am leaf of autumn A fallen tear of something fine Chorus From the shallows of the Mekong To my Liffey, Dublin's wine The tide turned me around And brought the taste of something fine And something's truly lost As I'll not try to change your mind The thorns of taking chances Made it something truly fine Chorus
