Love & Superstition
Susan McKeown

These streets are incestuous I'm doubled up with bitterness
and I can't try to hide it can't hid it anymore
and the truth's so hard to swallow down and my pride gets in the way
but I can still be grateful if just for today

There's all this building up inside
So much building up inside
All this stuff I can't hide
I can't hide it anymore

Whoever said it was gonna be easy
Thanks for the lesson I hope I learned it well
It's not the kind that should be easy to forget
With all your love and superstition

And the wind that shakes the barley well it rattles in my bones
and I wake up with a hunger but for what I do not know
but I know somewhere it matters and there's got to be a reason
why I feel this way with you you've given me so much to believe in
