Love's As Strong lyrics

"When love has got you in its throes
Even the summer's heat just freezes your soul
And the sweetest song -
It just clanks along
And the morning dew just says goodnight
And leaves your heart undone
It doesn't do to try and understand
Nothin' that's as good as love ever made a lot of sense
Like how the eagles fly
And how the rattlers slide
And what it is that comes to bind a woman and her man

Love's as strong as death my love
Unyielding as the grave
Relentless as the desert sun
And rivers cannot wash my love away
Lord, I won't let it wash away
And many waters cannot quench love

There ain't nothing left to soothe you with
Love has marked your soul the way the sun has marked your skin
And there ain't no way to find no shade
When your soul's the very thing
That feeds the blaze that burns within you
It just makes your cold heart melt
The flames that burn as white as the very flames of hell
So just hold on tight
'Cause it's a long ~ wild ride
When you finally find the grace to love another as yourself

Love's as strong as death my love
Unyielding as the grave
Relentless as the desert sun
And rivers cannot wash my love away ~ away!
I won't let it wash away
And many waters ~ it cannot quench love"
