lyrics

Good and Low

Verse:

My father parted with a kiss,
Told me not to linger long,
I departed with a song.

My mother taught me not to flinch,
Don’t hold back the final blow,
Life hits you good and low.

Chorus:

And all we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
Leave them with a song.

Verse:

I left my town again to roam,
Spent the years beneath the stars,
Sustained by pity and applause.

I came to know some honest folks,
Friends will do when times get thin,
When you’re naked in the wind.

Chorus:

All we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
Leave them with a song.

Bridge:

Take another route you can stay with us,
Sing the older songs they were made for us,
Time is all we have to lose.

Chorus:

All we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
All we do is take the time we have,
Don’t wonder how long,
Only time to love the ones you have,
And leave them in song,
Leave them with a song.
