Artist/Band: The Avett Brothers
Lyrics for Song: The Ballad Of Love And Hate
Lyrics for Album: Live, Volume 3 [2010]



Love writes a letter and sends it to Hate

"My vacation's ending, I'm coming home late.

The weather was fine, and the ocean was great,

and I can't wait to see you again."



Hate reads the letter and throws it away

No one here cares if you go or you stay

I barely even noticed that you were away

I'll see you or I won't, whatever



Love sings a song as she sails through the sky

The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes

and everyone knows it whenever she flies

and also when she comes down



Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street

Every stranger and drifter he greets

and shakes hands with every loner he meets

with a serious look on his face



Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow

Carrying with her the good things we know

A reason to live and a reason to grow

To trust, to hold, to care



Hate sits alone on the hood of his car

Without much regard to the moon or the stars

Lazily killing the last of a jar

of the strongest stuff you can drink



Love takes a taxi a young man drives

As soon as he sees her hope fills his eyes,

but tears follow after at the end of the ride

'cause he might never see her again



Hate gets home lucky to still be alive

He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive

The clock in the kitchen says 2:55

and the click in the kitchen is slow



Love has been waiting patient and kind

Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign

that the one she cares for who's out of his mind

will make it back safe to her arms



Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door

weary head hung down eyes to the floor

He says, "Love I'm sorry"

and she says, "What for?

I'm yours and that's it, forever"

"I should not have been gone for so long

I'm yours and that's it forever

You're mine and that's it forever"
