You can't beat lightning with a 40 watt bulb
You can only go in one direction once your back's to the wall
The scent in the air - the wind through the magnolia trees
The branches bend and drop petals on my feet
The street lights balance on a lost dogs tail
The sky looks like a table all covered in fish scales

There's a knot only idiots tie
From the wings of a dirty dove
It's called love

A black cat up and crossed my path
Reminds me I'm one day closer to my last
It's no wonder you hurt like a bent crowbar
No wonder you run out of my arms like dust from the saw
The curtains part like ruts down that old mill road
Can't expect to hold on - at the same time let go

There's a knot only idiots tie
From the wings of a dirty dove
It's called love

The sorrow is sweet like a ruby in a blind man's ear
The truth ain't forgiving no matter what you hear
Time's naked as a mannequin but always dressed in style
And after all this time between us can you forgive me now
The world loves bad news coming out of a pretty mouth
And the earth groans in sorrow as the farmer hitches up his plow

There's a knot that only idiots tie
From the wings of a dirty dove
It's called love

I didn't know what I had 'til I threw it all away
I took things past the point where there was anything left to save
From a car window I watch you drift downstream
But objects in the mirror are always closer than they seem
From the outstretched wings of a dirty dove
Well, there's a knot only idiots tie, baby, it's called love
There's a knot that only idiots tie
From the wings of a dirty dove
It's called love
