Indigo Girls F/ Devotion [Live] lyrics

I pulled out with the mountain laurel blooming
On a dirt road that is soon to be paved
Down to the site of my original establishment
And the west end family grave

Now one day moves into two
I'm losing everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion
Yeah, that's what I should do

Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down
On the family tree o'er the fields of war
If I spend my time being broken hearted and grieving bound
Well, I haven't much need to look forward

I just let a one day move into two
And I'm losing everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion

Book of days and the way things lay
That's just space and time
I gave it up all for a love
That won't be defined

I've had enough of temporary acquisitions

And building fences for no gain
And taking dead trees down before the winter freeze
I said let 'em rot and fall where they may

Just let one day move into two
I'm losing everything except for you
I would sing you a song of devotion
That's what I should do

I gotta let them fall where they may
'Cause one day moves into two
The book of days, I'm losing
The way things lay

Everything except for you
That's just space and time
I, I would sing you a song of devotion
I gave it up all for your love
Yeah, that's what I should do

That's what I should do
That's what I should do
