What Do You Love More Than Love Lyrics by Dar Williams

What Do You Love More Than Love Lyrics

    Well the mountain was so beautiful
    That this guy built a mall and a pizza shack
    Yeah he built an ugly city because
    He wanted the mountain to love him back

    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love
    When you know that you won't get your heart in that stone
    When you drop your tools and you stand alone
    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love

    Well when my love felt like another addiction
    I held my breath and I packed my bags
    And I went to the land of the monastery
    And the sunshine children and the prayer flags

    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love
    When you feel your soul go beyond your skin
    When you know that's the way that it's always been
    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love

    Well, I climbed a mountain and I thought about attachment
    And I thought about the Buddhist King
    He said, 'You can keep your superpower
    It just short circuits my country'

    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love
    When you question what your desire is for
    When you don't just figure that you just want more
    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love

    Well I love the way the world is your garden
    And you plant your seeds and you let them grow
    And you take things out of the ground just like
    You take what comes, but you never know

    Yeah, and the mountain is so beautiful
    And we don't know if we're any good at all
    And we give our love when we think we still need it
    Yeah we give and give and fall and fall

    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love
    When the giving is all that you ever get back
    Oh how long do you love like that
    Can you tell me oh, how to love
    Hey what do you love more than love
    Hey what do you love more than love
