Lyrics:

Your gentle love
Is everything I dreamed of
Since i first heard of love
So long ago
...so long ago
When there was only fear
And it still lives inside me here
Like a good friend I don't want near

Who wears the scars of the war between me and the stars?
The mother and the father of all wars
Look in my heart
My raging heart
The one that's still smashed all apart
My raging heart
Is just like yours

But if the truth be told
It's time for all those things to get old
And time to let go

Oh pain and fear
And anything that don't keep happiness near
For love is ours
God knows we are in it with our hearts

Will you love my heart?
The one that's still smashed all apart
My raging heart
Will you love my heart like i love your heart?
Your tender, gentle heart
Your heart that's still so sore

Let love be ours, ours, ours
Let be ours

My aching heart, my aching heart

History:

Love Is Ours, in the only version of it that was released, is a work in progress demo song that was ultimately abandonned before it could be completely finished after Massive Attack realised the song was'nt working out and would be inappropriate to include on 100th Window. It was thusly given (along with It's All Good) to Sinead to do with what she wanted. She would then ultimately release both songs as part of her career retrospective in 2003 with the unwieldy title "She Who Dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High Shall Abide Under the Shadow of the Almighty".

Additional Info:

Love Is Ours would have been a mre serious contender for inclusion on 100th Window than it's other counterpart It's All Good, seeing as that song was a cover and 100th Window was always intended to be a "no samples, no covers" album.

Live Appearances:

Love Is Ours have never once been played live neither by Massive Attack or Sinead O'Connor.
