Book Of Love Lyrics - Promised Land - Dar Williams

Tell me what you see 

Is it close to what you dreamed? 

If I play a part can I be redeemed? 

We pore through the passages 

From leather volume shelves 

But they only leave us wondering 

Can we find ourselves 

In the book of love? In the book of love? 

Looking for the one, waiting on a day 

Countless dinner parties 

And all the games we play 

All for some processional 

A solemn wedding vow 

A picture in a picture frame 

That beauty can allow 

In the book of love, in the book of love 

And love becomes a temple 

And we begin to fear 

That an unfeeling oracle will say 

You did come near 

But you are not welcome here 

This is who I am 

All the places that Ive been 

The fondness and regret 

Every love that I've been in 

And I've played all the characters 

The fool, the friend, the wife 

And no matter what the ending is 

The story of my life is the book of love 

Is the book of love, is the book of love 

Is the book of love, is the book of love
