Parallel Love

I mend the fences, you tend the garden

I turn the wrenches, till you call me "Darlin'"

Then we sit down on the porch swing

With a cold drink and watch the sun go down, slow down

We're two hearts planted in the country

With roots deep in the ground

We're like two wildflowers

Growing toward the sun

You next to me, me next to you

Lord, I love to watch you bloom

Growing in a parallel love

We go through phases, darkness, and the light

We pass each other like two ships in the night

Then we get lost in the living

But all sins get forgiven when we lay down, somehow

You're sunshine and I'm springtime

And the colors all fall out

We're like two wildflowers

Growing toward the sun

You next to me, me next to you

Lord, I love to watch you bloom

Growing in a parallel love

We're like two wildflowers

Growing toward the sun

You next to me, me next to you

Lord, I love to watch you bloom

Growing in a parallel love

Growing in a parallel love
