lyrics

BECAUSE I LOVED YOU

Darlin’, do you recall the hours of the trip on the bus from LA?
It was because I loved you that I let the weight of the misery stay
Darlin’, I was the dog who was left out on the porch
It was because I loved you that I moved through the mine with a torch
Because I loved you, it’s true
Because I love you, I do
Darlin’, you told me to dig as deep as I could till the oil hit my foot
But I picked with my axe and I came out relaxed, all I had was a face full of soot
Darlin’, you said that love is infinite and we must be strong
It was because I loved you that I sat down and wrote this song
Because I loved you, it’s true
Because I love you, I do
Darlin’, the screen door slammed while you chased the dog
It was because I loved you that I knew you could hear the desperate bark through the fog Darlin’, I put a note in your back pocket late last night
It was because I loved you that I said I could wait till we someday got it right
(or your folks got it right)
Because I loved you, it’s true
Because I love you, I do
