Ferron - Ain't Life A Brook Lyrics
I watch you reading a bookI get to thinking our love's a polished stoneYou give me a long drawn lookI know pretty soon you're going to leave our homeAnd of course I mind,especially when I'm thinking from my heartBut life don't clickety clack down a straight line trackIt comes together and it comes apart.You say you hope I'm not the kindTo make you feel obligedTo go ticking through your timeWith a pained look in your eyesYou give me the furniture, we'll divide the photographsGo out to dinner one more timeHave ourselves a bottle of wineAnd a couple of laughsAnd when first you leftI stayed so sad I wouldn't sleepI know that love's a gift, I thought yours was mineAnd something that I could keepNow I realize that time is not the only compromiseBut a bird in the hand could be an all night standBetween a blazing fire and a pocket of skiesSo I hope I'm not the kindTo make you feel obligedTo go ticking through your timeWith a pained look in your eyesI covered the furniture, I framed the photographsWent out to dinner one more timeHad myself a bottle of wine and a couple of laughsAnd just the other dayI got your letter in the mailI'm happy for you, its been so longYou've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trailAnd I think that's great...me...I seem to find myself in schoolIt's all Ok, I just want to sayI'm so relieved we didn't do it cruelBut ain't life a brookJust when I get to feeling like a polished stoneI give me along drawn lookIt's kind of a drag to find yourself aloneAnd sometimes I mindEspecially when I'm waiting on your heartBut life don't clickety clack down a straight line trackIt comes together and it comes apart.Cause I know you're not the kindTo make me feel obligedTo go ticking through my time with a pained lookIn my eyesI sold the furniture, I put away the photographsWent out to dinner one more timeSkipped the bottle of wineHad a couple of laughsAnd wasn't it fine
