Album: Twin Forks (2014)

Can't Be Broken

Someone carved you out of ivory
Or some porcelain or brass
Then they looked upon your face
And they knew they'd done their task

So they tore their tools to pieces
Laid em underneath the grass
There won't be another like you
I don't even have to ask

I stumbled on you sitting on a bench beside the bank
Of the river where the dam was
Before the old town went and sank

Said I'd be grateful just to sit, could you spare a little plank
You said "I found it when I got here so you aint got me to thank

That's a love that
Can't be broken
That's the sting of a
Heart cut open
That's the thing about
Blind devotion
That's a love
That can't be broken
A love that cant be broken

I can sing the lead and you can sing the harmony
We can play out on the porch
And let it blow off in the breeze

We can listen as it lingers through the leaves left on the trees
We can stay out till the sun comes rising up from in the east

Cause we lived in the city now we live along the shore
We looked twice before we left but we don't look back no more
We fell sick for one another, may we never find the cure
You can handle my best easy, I can try to handle yours

That's a love that
Can't be broken
That's the sting of a
Heart cut open
That's the thing about
Blind devotion
That's a love that
Can't be broken

It's the way you stay
right by my side
It's the
Way you lay
Your lips on mine
You're the rarest thing
Ill ever find
My love
