M. Lockwood Porter - Retraction lyrics
Artist: M. Lockwood Porter
album: Judah's Gone
I would like to make a retraction
I wrote lots of songs with the word "love"
But they were just a reaction
To a feeling that I had only heard of
That I wanted to feel, but I couldn't find the way
So I thought it wasn't real and I locked myself away
The word, to me, became
Loaded with fear and disdain
I'd use it all the time
To describe my loneliness or make a rhyme
Now I'm ashamed by this lesson that I have learned
As far as the meaning of that word's concerned
That you'll find no peace, though you leave no stone unturned
'Til you learn to love and know your love's returned
I wrote lots of songs with the word "love"
But they were just a reaction
To a feeling that I had only heard of
That I wanted to feel, but I couldn't find the way
So I thought it wasn't real and I locked myself away
The word, to me, became
Loaded with fear and disdain
I'd use it all the time
To describe my loneliness or make a rhyme
Now I'm ashamed by this lesson that I have learned
As far as the meaning of that word's concerned
That you'll find no peace, though you leave no stone unturned
'Til you learn to love and know your love's returned
