Lyrics Plan To Marry - Lucinda Williams

Plan To Marry

When leaders can’t be trusted
When heroes let us down
And innocence lies rusted
Frozen beneath the ground
And the destitute, isolated
Have all been forgotten
And the fruit trees we planted
Are withered and rotten
The abused and magnificent
Suffer from infection
And the promises were given
But never with intention
War becomes common place
Secrets overheard
And violence, big business
And love is just a word
Why do we marry?
Why do we fall in love?
Keep on believing in love
Because love
Love is a mighty sword
Love is our weapon
Love is the lesson
And we
We are the conquerors
We are the soldiers
We are the lovers
That’s why we fall in love
That’s why we believe in love
And that’s why we marry
