Ain't Life A Brook - Ferron[00:00:00]
Written by:Ferron Foisy[00:00:01]
I watch you reading a book[00:00:13]
I get to thinking our love's a polished stone[00:00:16]
You give me a long drawn look[00:00:20]
I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home[00:00:23]
And of course I mind[00:00:27]
Especially when I'm thinking from my heart[00:00:30]
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track[00:00:33]
It comes together and it comes apart[00:00:37]
You say you hope I'm not the kind[00:00:40]
To make you feel obliged[00:00:43]
To go ticking through your time[00:00:46]
With a pained look in your eyes[00:00:50]
You give me the furniture we'll divide the photographs[00:00:55]
Go out to dinner one more time[00:01:02]
Have ourselves a bottle of wine[00:01:06]
And a couple of laughs[00:01:08]
And when first you left[00:01:12]
I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep[00:01:15]
I know that love's a gift I thought yours was mine[00:01:19]
And something that I could keep[00:01:22]
Now I realize that time is not the only compromise[00:01:25]
But a bird in the hand could be an all night stand[00:01:31]
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies[00:01:34]
So I hope I'm not the kind[00:01:39]
To make you feel obliged[00:01:41]
To go ticking through your time[00:01:44]
With a pained look in your eyes[00:01:48]
I covered the furniture I framed the photographs[00:01:53]
Went out to dinner one more time[00:02:00]
Had myself a bottle of wine and a couple of laughs[00:02:04]
And just the other day[00:02:09]
I got your letter in the mail[00:02:13]
I'm happy for you its been so long[00:02:15]
You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail[00:02:19]
And I think that's great me[00:02:22]
I seem to find myself in school[00:02:25]
It's all OK I just want to say[00:02:28]
I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel[00:02:32]
But ain't life a brook[00:02:35]
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone[00:02:38]
I give me along drawn look[00:02:41]
It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone[00:02:45]
And sometimes I mind[00:02:48]
Especially when I'm waiting on your heart[00:02:51]
But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track[00:02:54]
It comes together and it comes apart[00:02:58]
Cause I know you're not the kind[00:03:01]
To make me feel obliged[00:03:04]
To go ticking through my time with a pained look[00:03:07]
In my eyes[00:03:13]
I sold the furniture I put away the photographs[00:03:15]
Went out to dinner one more time[00:03:22]
Skipped the bottle of wine[00:03:26]
Had a couple of laughs[00:03:28]
And wasn't it fine[00:03:31]
