Текст Joe Henry — Love Is Enough:

Lincoln Street is howling
It’s empty, growing colder
The night has come on limping and
It’s bleeding from the shoulder
Headlights fake a prison break
Of snow that rages and dies
It’s lost its will upon this hill
As one time so did I

But here comes everybody-
The rounders and the nuns
The poets sweeping sleeper cars
The butcher and his sons;
Here comes the restitution
We’d all but given up
This evening we’re content believing
That love will be enough

Air is what I need
But I try to breathe you in
Thinking I can get at what I must
Beneath your skin
Your veins are humming wire
Rushing fire to your face
I feel it flush against my own
A pulse that I can taste

And here comes everybody-
The tyrant and his crew
His most loyal traitors
And they whisper this to you:
Here comes the restitution
You’d all but given up
This evening we’re content believing
That love will be enough

The fire escape is folded
Like the cradle of an arm
Our dread so deep we’ve learned to keep it
Near without alarm
But every fear is like the prayer
You’ve learned to shout out loud
From your lips to God’s ear
It turns the face of every crowd

And here comes everybody-
The closet renegades
The weary, hungry soldiers
From the children’s lost crusade
Here comes the restitution
We’d all but given up
This evening we’re content believing
That love will be enough
