About the song
A long relationship, destined for fortune and failure, finally crumbles. An interesting side-note: I went over to a friend's house, just a wreck, and we put this whole song together. Alcohol was involved. We thought it sounded like Bob Dylan, what with four verses and the same chorus, no bridge, very cryptic. What do you think?
Lyrics
From the moment you’re born
You can feel so forlorn
You can just forget about it
But now it will be
What you always see
Everybody just shouts it
And the lies and the hate
And love’s broken gate
Makes you doubt it
So you stand back
Not attack
What you lack is her
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
So the time isn’t right
To put up a fight
With yourself
All has been lost
I think you’ve been tossed
Well, you have
Silver linings are few
When you don’t know what to do
With yourself at night.. Sunday too..
Well all this at once
You might think it twice
You can just end it
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
Did you see her change
Can you try to rearrange
Everything you had with her – events of the past
All the days gone by
Nothing left but to cry
Over corpses of dreams
How could she smile
Did she know all the while
???
Was it in your plan
To be touched by other hands
???
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
The child in her womb
Now a heart is a tomb
Can’t roll away the stone
The light in your soul
Now a darkened hole
What do ya make of that?
What do you think of that?
All that we had
Did it make God sad
Doin’ what we did
Well Lord up above
You take away love
And send you on your way
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
You can feel so forlorn
You can just forget about it
But now it will be
What you always see
Everybody just shouts it
And the lies and the hate
And love’s broken gate
Makes you doubt it
So you stand back
Not attack
What you lack is her
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
So the time isn’t right
To put up a fight
With yourself
All has been lost
I think you’ve been tossed
Well, you have
Silver linings are few
When you don’t know what to do
With yourself at night.. Sunday too..
Well all this at once
You might think it twice
You can just end it
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
Did you see her change
Can you try to rearrange
Everything you had with her – events of the past
All the days gone by
Nothing left but to cry
Over corpses of dreams
How could she smile
Did she know all the while
???
Was it in your plan
To be touched by other hands
???
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
The child in her womb
Now a heart is a tomb
Can’t roll away the stone
The light in your soul
Now a darkened hole
What do ya make of that?
What do you think of that?
All that we had

Well Lord up above
You take away love
And send you on your way
And time won’t heal nothin’
So you gotta move on
Sing this song
You’ll get along
Gotta stay strong
