lyrics

Lovable
©2000 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

Full of anger, soft as snow
A powder keg inside a glove
What's inside you'll never know
Outside the eyes are filled with love

Heavy limbs and feather heart
Sewn together like an oak
I leaned my back against the wood
First it bent and then it broke

CHORUS
LOVABLE
Fragile like a soap bubble
LOVABLE
Captivated by the slighted breeze
LOVABLE
At the first sign of trouble

Hard of hearing and soft of voice
The gentle art of flattery
Leaves the listener with no choice
But to long for sleep perchance to dream

Heavy limbs and feather heart
Sewn together like an oak
I leaned my back against the wood
First it bent and then it broke

CHORUS

Linger on the lonesome sound
Of words that I'm afraid to crack
If you knew the sound I heard
Would you try and take them back

Heavy limbs and feather heart
Sewn together like an oak
I leaned my back against the wood
First it bent and then it broke

CHORUS

LOVABLE
Hard of hearing soft as snow
LOVABLE
What's inside you'll never know
LOVABLE
Waiting for the whole thing to blow

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
