Lyrics Lucinda Williams

Lucinda Williams

Plan to Marry

Okay, this is in G

When leaders can't be trusted

And hero's let us down

And innocence lies rusted

Frozen beneath the ground

And the destitute isolated

We've all been forgotten

And the the fruit trees we planted

Are withered and rotten

The abuse and magnificent

Suffer from infection

And the promises were given

But never with intention

War becomes common place

Secrets overheard

And violence, big business

And love is just a word

Why do we marry, why do we fall in love?

Keep on believing in love

Because love, love is my sward

Love is a weapon, love is a lesson

And we, we are the conquerors

We are the soldiers, we are the lovers

That's why we fall in love

That's why we believe in love, that's why we marry
