The Handsome Family Love Is Like song lyrics

Love is like a white moth sipping tears from sleeping birds

An asteroid in flames tumbling to Earth

Raindrops sliding down the stems of orange leaves

The flicker of a strange light far out across the sea

Love is like a black fly buzzing in the sun

Circling and landing, dancing like it's drunk

All around the red apples scattered on the lawn

Fallen in the fury of last night's thunderstorm

Love is like the hole torn right through the roof

When that old sugar pine came crashing down last night

And above the broken beams and the shattered ceiling tiles

You can see starlight for the very first time
