Cripple Woman's Waltz lyrics

I've been watching you from a far

burning bridges and building new starts

I've seen you fail and on the ground

I've seen you high and out.

I've seen you rise and I've seen you fall

I've watched your demise and I've seen your glow

I'm not promising you an easy road

those are different songs, different times.

Oh this is love, a cripple kind of love

it needs a shoulder to lean on

a love that won't pretend

won't shelter us till the end

but sometimes two weak ones make one great.

Oh this is love, scarlet love.

I've seen you search for redemption

when you had nothing to apologize for

you kept on begging for a new salvation

from a god that's been long gone.

Now I've watched you break when you lost all you had

I've seen you leave and always come back

we've been here so many times before

after all we're that strong.

Oh this is love, a cripple kind of love

it needs a shoulder to lean on

a love that won't pretend

won't shelter us till the end

but sometimes two weak ones make one great.

Oh this is love of the burned and scarred

scarlet love of the leftovers

a love that needs you to hang on hard

oh but sometimes two weak ones make one great.

Take my hand, take my all

no church bells ringing here

no kingdoms to come

just a silent calm, before the storm

this is love, this is love.

Now this is my gift, this is our waltz

it might not be glittery, but it's our gold

you know sometimes two weak ones can make one great

this is love, scarlet love.

this is love, scarlet love.
