Grow
Words and music by Perry Devine
Used to think I had it made, a flower in the summer shade.
Shallow roots but growing proud and tall.
Now the winds are blowin’ strong, and the nights are gettin’ long.
Fragile flowers fear the fall.
Every day it just gets harder to keep on hangin’ on,
As I feel the ground around me letting go.
To stay alive is not enough, lord knows, I should know.
I know to keep on living, I must grow.
There you were a flower in the sun, bringing beauty to everyone.
Your roots were deep, your blossoms bold and bright.
But autumn was approaching, so many weeds encroaching,
Stealing all the water and the light.
Every day it just gets harder to keep on hangin’ on,
As you feel the ground around you letting go.
To stay alive is not enough, by now, you should know.
You know to keep on living, you must grow.
So grow a little closer to me, together we can both be free,
Two flowers become a vine.
Growing high above the weeds, the love we share fills all our needs,
Two hearts become entwined.
Every day we’re gettin’ stronger, reaching for the sun,
Clinging to each other when strong winds blow.
We sink our roots into the earth, and understand what love is worth.
It’s love that keeps us living, watch it grow.
To stay alive is not enough, deep down we all know,
It’s love that keeps us living, make it grow.
It’s love that keeps us living, make it grow.

A Place Only Lovers Can Go
Words and music by Perry Devine - December 27, 2010
There’s beauty that’s deeper than any can see.
A power that’s stronger than just you and me.
Wisdom that’s greater than what any wise man knows.
There’s a place only lovers can go.
Only lovers can fly on the wind, only lovers can let you in.
Only lovers can fill you, only lovers can thrill you,
There’s a place only lovers can go.
There’s a hunger that’s deeper than just what we need.
A much deeper yearning we all need to feed.
So we open our hearts, we open our souls,
To a place only lovers can go.
Only lovers can make you feel right, on a cold and lonely night.
Only lovers can feel you, only lovers can heal you.
There’s a place only lovers can go.
There’s music so sweet, it fills you with song.
A song so delightful, your soul sings along.
The harmony hums, the melody flows,
To a place only lovers can go.
Only lovers can sing from the heart, only lovers can tear you apart.
But only lovers can put you back whole.
There’s a place only lovers can go.
There’s beauty that’s deeper than any can see.
A power that’s stronger than just you and me.
Wisdom that’s greater than what any wise man knows.
There’s a place only lovers can go.
Only lovers can sing from the heart, only lovers can tear you apart.
But only lovers can put you back whole.
There’s a place only lovers can go.
There’s a place only lovers can go.
There’s a place only lovers can go.
