Forty Days

Original

Just like the river, just like the sky.

Same as the distance between you and I.

So far away but right by my side.

For all forty days and all forty nights, I waited so patient and I didn't cry.

Time is so fragile, I'm still alive.

Shine your light down on me. Hold me while I'm lonely.

Guide me to a love that was made special for me. And it don't stop, oh.

And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop.

You lose and win sometimes, I know.

Ain't hit the ground and fall and ever get back up to hide and never touch your broken oh. And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop, oh.

And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop. How'd you get those scars, baby?

Loving ain't that hard, baby. Letting go and holding on ain't get you very far lately.

'Cause you love and you lose, but you still get to choose if you can let it in and who's loving you, oh. And it don't stop, oh.

And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop.

You lose and win sometimes, I know.

Ain't hit the ground and fall and ever get back up to hide and never touch your broken oh. And it don't stop, oh.

And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop.

Shine your light down on me.

-Shine your light. -Hold me while I'm lonely.

-Hold me while.

-Guide me to a love that was made special for me. And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop, oh.

And it don't stop, oh. And it don't stop.

As much as we try to pretend like love is this easy thing, it's not.

No matter the relationship that you have, love is complicated.

Whether it is love with your children, a partner, family, friends, love is complicated.

And we pretend that it's this easy thing, and it shouldn't hurt and. . .

But I don't think that that's true.
