david childers & the serpents - books are books lyrics

[verse 1]
she saw a strawberry moon in the illinois sky
it made her think of him but she forgot it by and by
the moon was just a dream, his love was never real
she read it in a book and liked the way it made her feel

[chorus]
but books are books and love is temporary
we all got a story n0body wants to hear
books are books and life goes on without us
when it takes too long and the message isn’t clear
[verse 2]
he fell off of the turnip truck into the middle of the road
she picked him up and bounds his wounds
and then she took him home
her love for him was real and this he surely knew
but she was gone in the morning faded like the dew

[chorus]
but books are books and love is temporary
we all got a story n0body wants to hear
books are books and life goes on without us
when it takes too long and the message isn’t clear

[bridge]
she heard a lonesome whistle calling like a wounded dinosaur
from a place of broken rocks and bones
and beaches wracked by storms
she found a different hero
and saw a different moon
she learned a different language to tell her problems to
when the dust blew away from the movie in her mind
she was so disappointed
to suddenly find
her speaking parts
had all been cut
the door she had walked in through was suddenly shut
[chorus]
because books are books and love is temporary
we all got a story n0body wants to hear
books are books and life goes on without us
when it takes too long and the message isn’t clear
