Cowboy Junkies Loved Too Much Lyrics

(Michael Timmins)

I wish I could breathe you in and hold you in my lungs.
Carry you inside of me, safe from unforeseen catastrophe
and then I would breathe you out and hold you in my arms.

If I've felt this way before, I don't know when.
If I've tasted these tears then please forgive me,
'cause I've forgotten.
It all comes down to a single thrust
Lesson learned: you can love too much.

My love I carry, bold as a new tattoo,
red and yellows streaming in a shimmering violet-blue
It all comes down to a simple touch
Pop it goes, you can love too much.

I want to look back upon a well-trod trail
See all the points along the way
Where my heart refused to fail
Sometimes it just comes down to luck
'Cause there ain't now way,
You Can Be Loved Too Much.

I wish I could breathe you in and hold you in my lungs.
Carry you inside me, safe from unforeseen catastrophe
And then I'd breathe you out and hold you in my arms.
