The Thing About Love lyrics

There is no turning back.. from this unending path of mine.
Serpentine and black, it stands before my eyes.
To hell and back.. it will lead me once more.
It's all I have.. as I stumble in and out of grace.

I walk through the gardens.. of dying light,
and cross all the rivers, deep and dark as the night,
searching for a reason.. why time would've passed us by.

With every step I take, the less I know myself,
and every vow I break on my way towards your heart.
Countless times I've prayed.. for forgiveness,
but gods just laugh in my face.
And this path remains, leading me into solitude's arms.

I see through the darkness.. my way back home.
The journey seems endless, but I'll carry on.
The shadows will rise and.. they will fall,
and our night drowns in dawn.

Amidst all the tears, there's a smile,
that all angels greet with an envious song.
One look into stranger's eyes, and I know where I belong.

I walk through the gardens.. of dying light,
and cross all the rivers, deep and dark as the night,
searching for a reason.. why time would've passed us by.

Oh, I see through the darkness.. my way back home.
The journey seems endless, but I'll carry on.
The shadows will rise and.. they will fall,
and our night drowns in dawn, yeah.
The shadows, they rise and they fall, yeah,
and our night drowns in dawn.
