Song of the Week: Over the Rhine's "Born"

Diane and I saw the husband-wife team known as "Over the Rhine" at the Cactus Cafe last Thursday. I've written about them on this weblog before. I've loaded their song, "Born," on the audio player for this week. It's about finding your way back together as a couple. Good for a week leading up to Valentine's Day, eh?

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear

Pour me a glass of wine
Talk deep into the night
Who knows what we'll find

Intuition, deja vu
The Holy Ghost haunting you
Whatever you got
I don't mind

Put your elbows on the table
I'll listen long as I am able
There's nowhere I'd rather be

Secret fears, the supernatural
Thank God for this new laughter
Thank God the joke's on me

We've seen the landfill rainbow
We've seen the junkyard of love
Baby it's no place for you and me

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
