I Could Have Loved You by The Riptide Movement Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your song enchants my aching heart
My immortal beloved, am I ever a man?
What's the coldest hell on a dolly man's strand?
For you were trumpet n a marching band

[Chorus]
And I could have loved you
For your strength alone
I could have loved you
For your simple heart
So grave and so unshy are you
That I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings

[Verse 2]
We made our own bed, as young lovers do
But we all have our flaws and we had a few
I'll never regret the time spent with you
For you were an ocean so deep and so blue

[Chorus]
And I could have loved you
For your strength alone
I could have loved you
For your simple heart
So grave and so unshy are you
That I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings
[Bridge]
No food on the table
No trees to light the room
Brother Kevin lit the candles
And silence filled the room

[Instrumental]

Your words they bleed comfort and solace alike
I cherish your letters on these lonely nights
My shoes still fall off the Leeman's sand
With the ghosts of your lovers and marching band

[Chorus]
And I could have loved you
For your strength alone
I could have loved you
For your simple heart
So grave and so unshy are you
That I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings
I could have loved you without thought of wedding rings
