If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It (Live 1981) - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
Written by:Al Stewart/Peter White[00:00:00]
Nothing that's forced can ever be right[00:00:13]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it[00:00:15]
That's what she said as she turned out the light[00:00:19]
And we bent our backs as slaves of the night[00:00:22]
She lowered her guard and showed me the scars[00:00:25]
She got from trying to fight[00:00:28]
Saying oh you'd better believe it[00:00:31]
Well I'm up to my neck in the crumbling wreckage[00:00:41]
Of all that I wanted from life[00:00:44]
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect[00:00:48]
Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times[00:00:51]
But dealing a jack from the back of the pack[00:00:54]
They said you lose again[00:00:57]
Oh I said who needs it[00:01:01]
Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on[00:01:07]
With the jokers that got in my way[00:01:10]
I put on a smile[00:01:13]
And I tried all the while to be straight[00:01:15]
But they just wanted more all the time[00:01:20]
And I'm sure[00:01:22]
You know what I mean when I say[00:01:23]
I'm sick of the touch[00:01:26]
And there's only so much you can take[00:01:28]
Nothing that's real is ever for free[00:01:34]
You just have to pay for it sometime[00:01:37]
She said it before she said it to me[00:01:40]
I suppose she believed there was nothing to see[00:01:43]
But the same old four imaginary walls[00:01:46]
She built for living inside[00:01:49]
Oh you just can't mean it[00:01:53]
Well there was never a doubt[00:02:32]
That she had to get out[00:02:33]
She was just looking around for a way[00:02:35]
In the pit of the night[00:02:39]
There was nowhere to hide any more[00:02:40]
Out on a limb[00:02:46]
She was reaching for things[00:02:46]
That she wanted but just couldn't say[00:02:48]
She had to be sure that[00:02:52]
She wouldn't get caught like before[00:02:53]
Nothing that's forced can ever be right[00:02:59]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it[00:03:01]
That's what she said as she turned out the light[00:03:05]
And she may have been wrong[00:03:08]
And she may have been right[00:03:10]
I woke with the frost[00:03:12]
And noticed she'd lost[00:03:13]
The veil that covered her eyes[00:03:15]
Oh I said you can leave it[00:03:18]
You can leave it[00:03:24]
