Over the Rhine Album: Ohio Track: When You Say Love
When You Say Love Lyrics
Words: Detweiler Music: Bergquist/Detweiler
I'm thinking of a word that has been Knocked up and overused You could say it's lost all meaning From so much abuse
But when you say love, OH
Most everything I ever wanted Doesn't really have a name But baby you're as close as I've come and I know that it sounds strange
But when you say love, OH
So open up my heart-shaped box It's full of combination locks I've swallowed all my love-sick pills To keep from getting chills Look at all the books I've read In my lonely single bed
