Love’s Not Where We Thought We Left It Songtext
von John Hiatt

In the forest of no gravity
Where birds mock reality
We laid out some bread crumbs
Yeah, but somebody ate ′em

Always thought we'd make it here
But here keeps movin′
How much blood, how many tears?
It's never been proven

Well, love's not where we thought we left it
Who took the last of love and kept it?
Caged love in, tried to protect it
Love′s not where we thought we′d left it

The apostles were jealous
Of Mary Magdalene and Jesus
Said, "Why do you love her more than us?"
Jesus turned back in disgust


Said, "Why do I love her more than you?
Well, the answer is a question
Just ask yourself, 'What can I do
To gain my Lord′s affection?'"

Love′s not where you thought you left it
Who took the last of love and kept it?
Caged love in, tried to protect it
For love's not where we thought we left it

Ah, when men become more lady-like
I′ll see you in the candlelight
When women come to be like men
Oh, would be a shame to fight again

No jealous, God's the only one
Father, Mother, Ghost and Son
Love's unorthodox, changes all of nature′s clocks
To time remaining, just 24 hours
For lovers in training
Bitter, salty, sweet and sour

Love′s not where we thought we'd left it
Who took the last of love and kept it?
Love′s not where we thought we left it
Who took the last of love and kept it?
Love's not where we thought we′d left it
