Features Gerry Leonard (David Bowie's guitarist/band director) on ambient/electric guitar
lyrics
How can we all live when the air is thinning out
Words, they spread like wildfire I think without a doubt
So now the city's burning, marked with but one name
You've heard it many times before, they say it every day
Back to the beginning where she had her family
Her love stretched to the ocean as strange as that may be
And I need time to love again, that's what she said (x2)
She was content, as happy as could be
But then she got a letter and her man, he had to leave
Filled with grief and sorrow, completely lost her mind
They had resented her, she reeked of smoke and wine
She changed almost completely sold her soul to lies
Says love comes in a single form and claims that hers had died
She's right, she died in her heart but not her mind (x2)
How can she live when her air is thinning out
Hate, it spreads like wildfire, she knows without a doubt
So now her city's burning, marked with but one name
She's heard it many times before she loved him every day
And I need time to love again, that's what she said (x2)

There's something about this song that captivates me every time it's played. From Libby's angelic vocals to the warm banjo throughout, this is the song that should get you hooked on her music. Jake
