Love's Legalities

I recall a love and all its beauty

Everything was spoken was sparklin' new

But like the tarnish comes to wine and silver

Things will go along the way they do

I recall a love growin' slowly chilly

Woven fabrics tear under the strain

Daily life and all its confrontations

Always new, but somehow all the same

And so we hired the men desired in matters

Concerning love and letters of the law

Paid to think they're better in translations

What they thought we thought we saw

And they told me no love would be forthcoming

And the whereas and wherefores set you free

But I can't find where it says you don't love me

Under all this love's legalities

But I can't find it says you don't love me
