(Nanci Griffith and James Hooker)
|
Oh love is a hand you hold
|
When you think you've lost your mind
|
It is bitter as persimmons
|
Yet as sweet of rose on vine
|
It's the thorns upon the vines
|
That sometimes tear two hearts entwined
|
It's a gentle breath upon your cheek
|
That is so truly something fine
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Love is something truly fine
|
Love is love and truly blind
|
Love is only human kind
|
Love is something truly fine
|
Oh love is something truly fine
|
Something never looked to find
|
Yet truly something fine
|
|
You and I are roses
|
Chose to wither on the vines
|
With you, you're back to love
|
With me, I've run from mine
|
We are some kind of weather
|
You're the storm blown 'cross my life
|
I am a leaf of autumn
|
A fallen tear of something fine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
From the shadows of the Mekong
|
To my Liffey, Dublin's wine
|
The tide turned me around
|
And brought the taste of something fine
|
And something's truly lost
|
As I'll not try to change your mind
|
The thorns of taking chances
|
Made it something truly fine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|

Truly Something Fine
