Lyrics Cripple Woman's Waltz - Manna

Cripple Woman's Waltz

I’ve been watching you from a far
burning bridges and building new starts
I’ve seen you fail and on the ground
I’ve seen you high and out
I’ve seen you rise and I’ve seen you fall
I’ve watched your demise and I’ve seen your glow
I’m not promising you an easy road
those are different songs
different times
oh this is love
a cripple kind of love
it needs a shoulder to lean on
a love that won’t pretend
won’t shelder us till the end
but sometimes two weak ones make one great
this is love
scarlet love
I’ve seen you search for redemption
when you had nothing to apologize for
you kept on begging for a new salvation
from a god that’s been long gone
now I’ve watched you break when you lost all you had
I’ve seen you leave and always come back
we’ve been here so many times before
after all we’re that strong
oh this is love
a cripple kind of love
it needs a shoulder to lean on
a love that won’t pretend
won’t shelder us till the end
but sometimes two weak ones make one great
this is love of the burned and scarred
scarlet love of the leftovers
a love that needs you to hang on hard
oh but sometimes two weak ones make one great
take my hand
take my all
no church bells ringing here
no kingdoms to come
just a silent calm
before the storm
this is love
this is love
now this is my gift
this is our waltz
it might not be glittery
but it’s our gold
you know sometimes two weak ones can make one great
this is love
scarlet love
this is love
scarlet love
