Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were married on a rainy day
The sky was yellow, and the grass was gray
We signed the papers and we drove away
I'd do it for your love
[Verse 2]
The rooms were musty and the pipes were old
All that winter we shared a cold
Drank all the orange juice
That we could hold
I'd do it for your love
[Verse 3]
Found a rug in an old junk shop
I brought it home to you
Along the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue
[Verse 4]
Found a rug in an old junk shop
I brought it home to you
Along the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue
[Verse 5]
The sting of reason, the splash of tears
The Northern and the Southern Hemispheres
Love emerges and it disappears
I'd do it for your love
I'd do it for your love
