If It Doesn't Come Naturally Leave It - Al Stewart[00:00:00]
Nothing that's forced can ever be right[00:00:14]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it[00:00:17]
That's what she said as she turned out the light[00:00:21]
And we bent our backs as slaves of the night[00:00:24]
She lowered her guard showed me the scars[00:00:27]
She got from trying to fight[00:00:31]
Saying oh you'd better believe it[00:00:34]
Well I'm up to my neck in crumbling wreckage[00:00:44]
Of all that I wanted from life[00:00:48]
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect[00:00:51]
Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times[00:00:54]
But dealing a Jack from the back of the pack[00:00:58]
They said You lose again[00:01:01]
Oh I said who needs it[00:01:05]
Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on[00:01:12]
With the jokers who got in my way[00:01:15]
And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight[00:01:19]
But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure[00:01:26]
That you know what I mean when I say[00:01:29]
That I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take[00:01:33]
Well nothing that's real is ever for free[00:01:40]
And you just have to pay for it sometime[00:01:43]
She said it before she said it to me[00:01:47]
I suppose she believed there was nothing to see[00:01:50]
But the same old four imaginary walls[00:01:53]
She built for living inside[00:01:57]
Oh you just can't mean it[00:02:00]
Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out[00:02:41]
She was just looking around for a way[00:02:45]
In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more[00:02:48]
She was out on a limb she was reaching for things[00:02:55]
That she wanted but just couldn't say[00:02:59]
And she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before[00:03:03]
Well nothing that's forced can ever be right[00:03:10]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it[00:03:13]
That's what she said as she turned out the light[00:03:17]
And she may have been wrong and she may have been right[00:03:20]
But I woke with the frost and noticed she'd lost[00:03:23]
The veil that covered her eyes[00:03:26]
Oh you can leave it[00:03:30]
You can leave it[00:04:13]
