lyrics

Where does it come from, where does it go
What is the heart’s desire, nobody knows
You build a fire, rain begins to fall

The happiest thing you can be in the world is gonna make you the saddest
You touched the flame, now you’re going insane
It’s a new kind of pain, you’re getting very small

Love love love
Love love love

What is the power of two if it comes back to one
You have to carry it forward
Wish I could tell you it gets easier with time

Somebody loves you but he’s going away
nothing you say will make him stay
There’s a gaping, bloody hole in his heart
You can’t fill it

With love love love
Love love love

You want to move on, you want to stay still, it’s a bad dream
Look for the slipstream in the half light, in the gloaming
And let it carry you home

To love love love
Love love love

What is the power of two if it comes back to one
You have to carry it forward
Wish I could tell you it gets easier with time
The truth of the matter is complicated, and you cannot see it
That’s the hardest part, the hardest part

Love love love
Love love love

Juliana Hatfield and Evan Dando...
Field Day has a gift for modern rock melodies." Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald

“Stings with lean power chords and open-hearted lyrics.” James Reed, The Boston Globe ... more

I love Tanya from her Belly stuff, mainly the 2nd album...plus Pretty Deep, etc. but to hear this cover of the 80’s classic by Vince & Alison was just too delicious James Ingles
