Lyrics Earthbound Love Song - Over the Rhine

Earthbound Love Song

When you find your little dream
Costs you everything
I hope your broken bluebird heart
Still sings
When you find the kiss it brings
The holy aftermath
Follow that blinding light down a crooked path
And wind up here
In an earthbound love song
I wanna see you smiling
On Sunday afternoon
I want your soul to sing you
An everlasting tune
Some questions cannot be answered
Who’s gonna bury who
We need a love like Johnny
Johnny and June
You might feel you gotta find your way home
Mostly all alone
Jacob’s ladder’s still hangin'
But the angels are gone
(Long gone)
They left the jukebox loaded
Our world exploded
Did the preacher have it all wrong?
Is heaven a place you fly off to
When the day is done?
Or do you work right here
On an earthbound love song?
I wanna see you swayin'
On Sunday afternoon
I want your soul to sing you
An everlasting tune
Some questions cannot be answered
Who’s gonna bury who?
We need a love like Johnny
Johnny and June
Some questions cannot be answered
Who’s gonna bury who
We need a love like Johnny
Johnny and June
We need a love like Johnny
Johnny and June
