Capable of Love

You were five
Brandishing the bread knife
I am capable of love

Your grandfather spoke more with his fists
Than he ever did with words
We are born as soft, futile mirrors
So I hurt to be heard

I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby when I held you last

Siphoning the floods we run them parallel
Searching through the mud I watched you as you fell
Told you not to cry
Don't wear a woman's eyes
Anger is our church
A front, with fear behind

I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby when I held you last

I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby when I held you last

Unconditional, I cradled you
Unconditional, I cradled you

I am capable of love
I am capable of love
I am capable of love
You were a baby when I held you last
