Love Used To Be Lyrics - Picking Up The Pieces - Jewel

Love used to be the ruler 

From which you measured all 

Love used to be the dizzying height 

From which you wished to fall 

Love used to be the white 

And gauzy apparition towering in your dreams 

Love used to be 

Love used to be 

Love used to be the horseshoe made of iron 

And always smiling up 

And in your arms it gathered 

All manner of silky satin golden luck 

Love used to be the pyramid and on top 

Its eye that always sees

Love used to be 

Love used to be 

Dig a six foot hole 

Inside my chest 

Heart like a gravestone 

Lay it down to rest 

Good-bye, love 

Amen 

Love used to be a sigh like petals 

Gently falling down 

From the flower of my lover's 

Half open rose bud mouth 

Love used to be the thirst, 

Oh, and the quenching, 

The question in no need of answering 

Love used to be 

Love used to be 

Photos 

Love used to be hope unflinching 

The dare that believed it must 

Love used to be the heady drunken feeling Of flesh heavy with lust 

Love used to be 

The photograph of the future 

Taken by one mind four eyes could see 

Love used to be 

Love used to be 

Dig a six foot hole 

Inside my chest 

Heart like a gravestone 

Lay it down to rest 

Good-bye, love 

Amen 

Love used to be a miracle 

The proof that God exists 

As it doubled our image, 

Immortality delivered by the double helix 

Love used to be the bedrock 

You built a life upon 

Into the future reaching 

It used to be what woke you each day 

And eased me into sleeping 

Love used to be my compass 

But now I'm alone and I'm adrift and I'm lost at sea 

Cause love used to be 

Love used to be 

Love used to be 

Love used to be
