Love Is Making Its Way Back Home

Josh Ritter · Bringing In The Darlings [2010]

Dark pines, the moonlit road

Winter time, the crunch of snow

I wonder will you smile show

That love is making its way back home



Love is making its way back home

Love is making its way back home

Love is making its cold weary way back home



And when it's finally real clear

We won't ask what it had seen

It won't say and we won't care

Where it's traveling the in-between



Love is making its way back home

Love is making its way back home

Love is making its cold weary way back home

To you and me



So keep on, keep on, keep on

Leave it if you can, you can leave it 'lone

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Just because it's gone, don't mean it's gone for long



All the jazz you've heard is true

Love is patient and love can burn

And it won't ask to be excused

And it won't ask if it can please return



Some will tell you that it's a myth

Try to say it don't exist

We'll shake our heads (?)

When it's finally standing in our midst, yea



Love is making its way back home

Love is making its way back home

Love is making its cold weary way back home

Love is making its way back home

Love is making its way back home

Love is making its cold weary way back home

To you and me



Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

Hold on, hold on, hold on
