Haven't You Always Lyrics

The Monk flunked out of the Franciscan order
The Rock Star deferred to her domestic side
The two were then married at the Mexican border
Each with a pistol and field guide
Strolling through fields of fresh-cut barley
Walking with the workers who harvested hay,
Leaning on ledges with staggering vistas
Depending on kisses to get through the day
Havenʼt you always wanted to know
How it would feel to let it all go?
Havenʼt you wondered, in line for the ticket,
Whether youʼll get in to witness the show?
Havenʼt you always wanted to know?
And for a little while, no one was boring
Neither was far off and harder to see
But then the rain gave in to violently pouring
Thatʼs when the monk had to take up a hobby
The Rock Star would sleepily strum with her fingers
Softly on an unplugged electric guitar
Every forsaken melody lingers
Every unfulfilled vow is a scar
