Even the flowers must rise from the dirt
And fight their way out of this long-suffering earth
Before they can bloom and display what their worth
I love you, that's all that I know
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, that's all that I know
Sometimes the pain is what leads me back home
When my throat is so dry that I pray for a storm
Or my house to burn down just to help me get warm
I love you, that's all that I know
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, that's all that I know
Whenever the clouds have all blocked out the sun
And you look to the hills just to find them all gone
Then, honey, we will just set out on our own
I love you, that's all that I know
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, that's all that I know
