Love's Found a Shoulder

by Nanci Griffith

on The Last Of The True Believers (1986)

My friends think I'm crazy and maybe it's true
'Cause I'll go on and love you this way
Though I have discovered that you love another
And hardly remember my name

My youth was so crazy my heart was so lazy
Love never could stand me still
But, love's found a shoulder now that I'm older
With plenty of time to kill

I wish you well for your new love
'Cause true love is so hard to hold
You'll be the one that I dream of
Till I find a love of my own
Now, here I am standin' in the cold winter rain
If hearts were of wool I'd be warm
I've known some kind hearts and I've touched a few
Though I never claim one for my own

My youth was so crazy my heart was so lazy
Love never could stand me still
But, love's found a shoulder now that I'm older
With plenty of time to kill
