Nina
Luke Concannon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love her ways and I always will
Knew it from thirteen, she was always ill
Singer, wrestler, laughed in the sun
Born to be a lover, born to have fun
There was something so destroyed about you
and something so light like joy about you
Inside, your light shines on
oh you were, you were my friend from day one
I loved you more, Loved you more than anyone
there is a spirit and it grows from a spark
and it lights up the dark
and it keeps us together in our heart

and she said...
two children in all of this heartache
But i will trans-mute all of this and partake
in the banquet that is for us
we get so abused but god cant ignore us
yeah i know my loves gorgeous
but something in my childhood turned my heart into a fortress
inside there are hot iron forges
melting down the suffering inside with a ...

because you were, you were my friend from day one
I loved you more, Loved you more than anyone
there is a spirit and it grows from a spark
and it lights up the dark
and it keeps us together in our heart.

how did i get so lost?
so much messing
i just want to live
i wish i was cursing you

oh you were, you were my friend from day one
I loved you more, Loved you more than anyone
there is a spirit and it grows from a spark




and it lights up the dark
and it keeps us together in our heart.
