There’s Always Room

I read in a book on a lost night

That suffering helps a heart to ripen

If that is true, it must be summertime

And I am a peach on the ground

‘Cause oh I have lost, and I haven’t found

One good way to live here without you

But pain is just love with nowhere to go

And there’s always room for love, I know

I don’t know what stage of grief

I am singing on these days

But I know there is something new in me

Like someone came and switched on a light

Oh, I have lost but oh, I have found

Parts of you I never knew I carried

And pain is just love with nowhere to go

And there’s always room for love, I know

Hitting my head against the wall

That’s what it’s like when I want to call you

So many questions, big and small

And you will forever hold the key

But I know I get one wild and precious life

I read it in the poems I treat as scripture

So, I’ll carry ‘round this heart

Bruised and ripe

And I will keep on falling to the ground
