What Do You Love More Than Love - Lyrics - Dar Williams

"Well the mountain was so beautiful That this guy built a mall and a pizza shack Yeah, he built an ugly city because He wanted the mountain to love him back Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love When you know that you won't get your heart in that stone When you drop your tools and you stand alone Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love Well, when my love felt like another addiction I held my breath and I packed my bags And I went to the land of the monastery And the sunshine children and the prayer flags Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love When you feel your soul go beyond your skin When you know that's the way that it's always been Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love Well, I climbed a mountain and I thought about attachment And I thought about the Buddhist King He said, "You can keep your superpower It just short circuits my country" Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love When you question what your desire is for When you don't just figure that you just want more Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love Well, I love the way the world is your garden And you plant your seeds and you let them grow And you take things out of the ground just like You take what comes, but you never know Yeah, and the mountain is so beautiful And we don't know if we're any good at all And we give our love when we think we still need it Yeah we give and give and fall and fall Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love When the giving is all that you ever get back Oh, how long do you love like that Can you tell me oh, how to love Hey, what do you love more than love Hey, what do you love more than love "
