Old Love Lyrics - Ashes & Roses - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I want old love, the kind that takes years 

To turn to gold, love, burnished and seared 

On the high wire, by rain, wind and sun 

With the hard times forgiven and done 

I want old love, the kind that seeps in 

It isn't cold, love, it's never brittle or thin 

It's the long kiss, it's the curl of a sigh 

Down a hallway, in the middle of the night 

I want old love, the kind that can see 

Through the holes, love, that live underneath 

All our false cheer, bravado and pride 

Through the old fears we carry inside

I want old love, the kind that can say 

What it knows, love, and what it learned on the way 

In that one voice, familiar and strange 

Only old love remembers your name 

I want old love, the kind that holds on 

When it's told, love, that all hope is gone 

Against all odds, wagers and prayers 

To the wall love, to the furthest somewhere
