I Could Have Loved You

Your song enchants my aching heart
My immortal beloved, am I ever a man?
What's the coldest hell on a dolly man's strand?
For you were trumpet n a marching band

And I could have loved you
For your strength alone
I could have loved you
For your simple heart
So grave and so unshy are you
That I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings

We made our own bed, as young lovers do
But we all have our flaws and we had a few
I'll never regret the time spent with you
For you were an ocean so deep and so blue

And I could have loved you
For your strength alone
I could have loved you
For your simple heart
So grave and so unshy are you
That I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings

No food on the table
No trees to light the room
Brother Kevin lit the candles
And silence filled the room

Your words they bleed comfort and solace alike
I cherish your letters on these lonely nights
My shoes still fall off the Leeman's sand
With the ghosts of your lovers and marching band

And I could have loved you
For your strength alone
I could have loved you
For your simple heart
So grave and so unshy are you
That I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings
I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings
