What Kind of Love?

I was trying to tie up a loose end
I was trying to say
That's a wrap
I was trying to call it a night friend
I was thinking I needed a nap
She was looking at me for the first time
I was looking at her for the last
She said
Can I ask you a few simple questions
Before I break out of this cast?

And she said
What kind of love do you want for your children?
What kind of life do you want for yourself?
What kind of hole would you drill in the ceiling
If your apartment was flooded with wealth?
What kind of car would you drive to my funeral?
What kind of tears would you shed on my grave?
What kind of hope do we have for the future
If we never learn how to be brave?
Oh yeah what kind of love?
Oh yeah what kind of love?

She was writing some notes on a napkin
I was thinking up songs in my head
While the man at the bar was concerned with
Undigested red meat in the dead
The waitress was watching the hours
As they slowly dripped off of the clock
I was praying for rain
It was driving me sane
And when I asked her she went into shock

I asked her
What kind of love do you want for your children?
What kind of life do you want for yourself?
What kind of hole would you drill in the ceiling
If your apartment was flooded with wealth?
What kind of car would you drive to my funeral?
What kind of tears would you shed on my grave?
What kind of hope do we have for the future
If we never learn how to be brave?
Oh yeah what kind of love?
Oh yeah what kind of love?

What kind of style do you have in your bedroom?
What kind of art do you hang on your wall?
What kind of house do you keep when you're weary?
What kind of food do you eat in the fall?
What kind of things do you say when you're jealous?
What kind of heart will you have when you're gray?
What kind of masterpiece hangs in your closet?
What kind of game is it we want to play?
Oh yeah what kind of love?
Oh yeah what kind of live?

I was trying to tie up a loose end

What kind of hope do we have for tomorrow
If we never learn how to be brave?
Oh yeah what kind of love?
Oh yeah what kind of love?
