Cowboy Junkies - Five Room Love Story Lyrics

Send "Five Room Love Story" ringtone to your cell

I met her in a church on a Sunday evening

Not late on Saturday night

She sang Ave Maria

A little flat and out of time

But that's what drew me to her

So that's alright

As she placed a nickle in the basket

That I held before her

I asked her to be my wife

And there's one cardboard heart

For every time you said "I love you"

A painted star for every secret that we shared

A dried lima bean and small plastic birds

Because you cared

I hear their talk and I watch them swap

Their old black and whites

Bitter and beaten

They talk of life's cheatin'

Like old boxers comparing scars

All I remember is a smile at the top

Of every working morning

And a shoulder always willing and able

And all those nights that we'd spend just sitting

And talking around our kitchen table

And there's one cardboard heart

For every time you said "I love you"

A painted star for every secret that we shared

A dried lima bean and small plastic birds

Because you cared

Five rooms made stronger by the

Breaking and the healing

Of the two hearts they protected within

Now one heart left aching

Just piecing and painting

These walls with the memories of all that is real

And there's one cardboard heart

For every time you said "I love you"

A painted star for every secret that we shared

A dried lima bean and small plastic birds

Because you cared

And there's one cardboard heart

For every time you said "I love you"

A painted star for every secret that we shared

A dried lima bean and small plastic birds

Because you cared
