And in that basket of sad and destructive dark

But I knew where sweet love was, right where we threw it
And my love, my love we both went blind and blew it
Hell, it was not our time to up and say screw it
So let us meet later tonight and redo it….

I reached for a handful of earth to hold tight
For our love went awry, something was just not right
And in that basket of sad and destructive dark
It damn sure hurt a lot, left its deep scarring mark…

We flew into that storm but we did not choose it
It was paradise why the hell did we lose it
It was our sweet gentle ocean to slow cruise it
There was love and romance, why did we abuse it?
Now our sorrows weep deeply and both hearts sad ache
And this terrible darkness we just cannot shake
Loss we are, for life truly has no damn meaning
Harvest burnt up, ashes are its pallid gleanings.

I reached for a handful of earth to hold tight
For our love went awry, something was just not right
And in that basket of sad and destructive dark
It damn sure hurt a lot, left its deep scarring mark…

We flew into that storm but we did not choose it
It was paradise why the hell did we lose it
It was our sweet gentle ocean to slow cruise it
There was love and romance, why did we abuse it?
