**(Verse 1)** Nineteen years of sun and rain Built this home on a steady lane I thought our roots ran deep and true My life's one purpose, loving you But you said the air feels still And time itself has lost its will... **(Chorus)** And your words, a cold and sudden knife As you said, "I need to go and find my life" And I walked out the bedroom door Hearing "we're just friends" and "stuck in a rut" once more Oh, was I a fool to think you'd see The ocean of love inside of me? **(Verse 2)** All this time, my sacred task To give you everything you ask Every soda, every stone I laid Was just to keep your comfort made I thought that love was in the doing In every seed I spent the sowing **(Chorus)** Then your words, a cold and sudden knife As you said, "I need to go and find my life" And I walked out the bedroom door Hearing "we're just friends" and "stuck in a rut" once more Oh, was I a fool to think you'd see The ocean of love inside of me? **(Bridge)** But I do not want to end this, dear! The thought of fading out is my true fear! So tell me what I need to be! I'll learn a new humanity! We'll relearn our favorite song! I'll prove to you I've looked so long Not at a roommate, but my wife The very anchor of my life! **(Final Chorus)** I'll fight for us, I'll learn the way! To make you feel brand new each day! Just point me towards the rising sun! Tell me how it can be done! 'Cause I am not yet done giving! This story is worth the fierce reliving! **(Outro)** So take my hand, don't take your leave I have so much left to believe... I'll build a new world from this dust If you can tell me that you'll trust The man who knows, beyond a doubt... What love... is really... about.
