Lyrics
[G]She left [Em7]California
where a [Am]salted-breeze [C]normally
[G]scented her hair
Today, a [G]dry desert [Em7]heat
has cracked the [Am]skin on her [C]feet
and once more [G]made her aware
That life's [Am]changes
bring both [Esus4]pleasure and [D]pain[Asus4]
which means she's [Am]starting all [Esus4]over a[D]gain
Love doesn’t [G]sides[Am]
[Esus4]Love doesn’t take [G]sides[Am][C]
While now she's running away
she's hoping to stay
in a place where hearts are repaired
She prefers open spaces
where deep breaths might find traces
of a love that once cared
A return to a life she has known
might be tempting but soon
she would fold
Love doesn’t take sides
Love doesn’t take sides
A return to a life she has known
might be tempting but soon
she would fold
Love doesn’t take sides
Love doesn’t take sides
So through bright sun and lonely stretches
she journeys and catches
glimpses of clarity
She feels if she’s strong
her heart will again sing those songs
of fulfillment and peace
Time and patience she knows is the glue
that will mend her heart
solid and true
Love doesn’t take sides
Love doesn’t take sides
Love doesn’t take sides
