Cover art for How Do You Keep Love Alive? lyrics by Ryan Adams

"i would've held your mother's hand On the day you was born"

Such an amazing and simple line, which conveys so much.

Bascically a song IMO about a guy who is in love with a girl, but it's all gone wrong. He's desperate to hang on to her but doesn't know how to save the relationship and keep it going anymore. But whatever happens, he will never be able to escape from her "She runs through my veins Like a long black river and rattles my cage"

Ryan Adams....he is so frightening good, both lyrically and musically. Just a genius.

RYANalbertjohnomar..... The first LP of cold roses SIDE 2 is the most amazing thing ever. My favorite anyways, go get the vinyl, it's really beautiful.

"i would've held your mother's hand On the day you was born" best R.A. line ever
