You Never Asked Me Lyrics - Servant Of Love - Patty Griffin

I don't believe in love like that anyway 

I would have told you that it you'd have asked me 

The kind the comes along once and saves everything 

Between a woman and a man 

But I'd have died trying anyway 

I might have told you that if you'd have asked me 

I'd have died trying - tried everything 

Until the day refused to return 

I should have seen it from one hundred miles away 

I should have beaten the odds of it any day 

But I never could keep all the wolves at bay 

Howling and growling 

It was an exercise in catastrophe 

It was a dance of destruction 

It was the daze of futility 

It was the flight of fragile wings 

Ambulance drivers and gravediggers 

Mislaid fortunes grown bigger and bigger 

Polar ice caps below and above 

Conquered and claimed and ruined for love 

As we glide along all the bends of time 

Falling for little tricks of the mind 

With memories of Eden now so far behind 

And the taste of melting snow 

I don't believe in love like that anyway 

The kind that comes along once and just saves the day 

I think of it more like the rocks the waves chip away 

As they become the sand 

And I'd have told you that if you'd asked me 

We might have saved ourselves the disappointment 

I might have told you that if you'd ever asked me 

And the day did not return
