If It Doesn't Come Naturally Leave It - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
Nothing that's forced can never be right[00:00:14]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it[00:00:16]
That's what she said as she turned out the light[00:00:20]
And we bent our backs as slaves of the night[00:00:23]
She lowered her guard showed me the scar[00:00:27]
She got from trying to fight[00:00:30]
Saying oh you'd better believe it[00:00:33]
Well I'm up to my neck in crumbling wreckage[00:00:44]
Of all that I wanted from life[00:00:47]
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect[00:00:50]
Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times[00:00:54]
But dealing a Jack from the back of the pack[00:00:57]
They said[00:01:01]
You'll lose again[00:01:02]
Oh I said who needs it[00:01:05]
Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on[00:01:11]
With the jokers who got in my way[00:01:14]
And I put on a smile[00:01:18]
And I tried all the while to be straight[00:01:20]
But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure[00:01:25]
That you know what I mean when I say[00:01:28]
That I'm sick of the touch[00:01:32]
And there's only so much you can take[00:01:34]
Well nothing that's real is ever for free[00:01:39]
And you just have to pay for it sometime[00:01:42]
She said it before she said it to me[00:01:46]
I suppose she believed there was nothing to see[00:01:49]
But the same old four imaginary walls[00:01:52]
She built for living inside[00:01:56]
I said oh you just can't mean it[00:01:59]
Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out[00:02:40]
She was just looking around for a way[00:02:44]
In the pit of the night[00:02:48]
There was nowhere to hide any more[00:02:49]
She was out on a limb[00:02:54]
She was reaching for things[00:02:56]
That she wanted but just couldn't say[00:02:58]
And she had to be sure[00:03:02]
That she wouldn't get caught like before[00:03:03]
Well nothing that's forced can never be right[00:03:09]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it[00:03:12]
That's what she said as she turned out the light[00:03:16]
And she may have been wrong[00:03:19]
And she may have been right[00:03:21]
But I woke with the frost[00:03:22]
And noticed she'd lost the veil that covered her eyes[00:03:24]
I said oh you can leave it[00:03:29]
