I Met My Love

from Live at Subrosa by Rabbit in the Rye

/

lyrics

I met my love on a cobblestone street
near the corner where Scottholm Terrace and Sunnyside meet
but only one of us fit on my bicycle seat

I met my maker, she's not as they say
It was not on God's acre, but instead on my first waking day
I'd forsaken my savior when he showed me her face

And I met my match in a house on a hill
the damn near collapsed and perhaps I should have been killed
The damn thing near collapsed and it's haunting me still

And I'll meet my fate, yes, I'll meet my end
with no heavenly gates or winding staircase to ascend
and on that fateful day without prayer or pretend
I'll be able to say that I knew you back when; back when I met my love.
