My Sunday Song -- 6/1 -- "More Love"

Jim and I are busy planning our Roots of American Music vacation, comprised of New Orleans, the Mississippi Blues Trail, Memphis, and Nashville.  Yesterday we purchased tickets for one of the Bluegrass Nights featured at the Ryman Auditorium every summer. We are going to see a bluegrass "supergroup" comprised of many big names, including dobro player Jerry Douglas and mandolin player Tim O' Brien.

Tim O'Brien

Today I decided to share a song Tim O'Brien wrote called "More Love."  I first heard this on a Dixie Chicks album, and it has inspiring lyrics, which I've posted below.

Happy June!



Tim O'Brien "More Love"



"More Love"

I'm so close to you baby
But I'm so far away
There's a silence between us
And there's so much to say
You're my strength, you're my weakness
You're my faith, you're my doubt
We gotta meet in the middle
To work this thing out

More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love, to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer
It's more love

We're afraid to be idle
So we fill up the days
We run on the treadmill
Keep slavin' away 'til there's no time for talkin'
About trouble in mind
And the doors are all closed
Between your heart and mine

More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love, to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer
It's more love

Just look out around us
People fightin' their wars
They think they'll be happy
When they've settled their scores
Let's lay down our weapons
That hold us apart
Be still for just a minute
Try to open our hearts

More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love, to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer
It's more love

I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love, to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer
It's more love
