A Crown of Gold

Verse 1

Midnight

Cold coffee on the table

I find the heavy keys

Lost

Under the carpet

Wait

Look for the letters I never read

Dusty and old

Buried deep in the drawer

Chorus

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

Taking everything you own

Leaving you alone

Yes

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

A crown of gold

Then a heart grown cold

Post-Chorus

Ooh ooh ooh

Oh oh oh

Love is

Just that way

Verse 2

Sundown

Red stains across the water

The tide pulls back

Gone

No more silver

Watch

See how the shadow moves

I stand

I wait

I wonder why I stayed

Salt on my skin

Heavy like a sin

Chorus

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

Taking everything you own

Leaving you alone

Yes

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

A crown of gold

Then a heart grown cold

Bridge

It builds a house

It burns the wood

It breaks the lock

Nothing left to save

Nothing left to see

Nothing left for me

Chorus

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

Taking everything you own

Leaving you alone

Yes

That's the way love is

That's the way love is

A crown of gold

Then a heart grown cold

Outro

That's the way

The only way

Love is

Love is

It goes

It stays

That's the way love is
