LOVE AND LOSE

I wrote this song the day
We laid you down into the ground
I wrote this song the day
We laid you down into the ground
Looking at the marigolds
And the music was a comforting sound

Chorus:
To love and lose
To love and lose
To love and lose
And come out un-bruised
That’s as strong as hope gets

I played it to myself like a lullaby
I played it round and round again
I played it to myself like a lullaby
I played it round and round again
Hearing notes of the bass line
Over anything trying to get in

Repeat Chorus

Death is not a bad thing
Except for those of us left behind
Death is not a bad thing
Except for those of us left behind
I’m pretty sure that’s the case and
I believe it almost all the time

Repeat Chorus

Remember how you used to remind me
To settle down and try to have some fun
Remember how you used to remind me
To settle down and try to have some fun
When I’m sad I think about
That and lively up my heavy spirit some

Repeat Chorus
