Love & Gravity

(andrew m. gold)

He was born on a summer day
Nineteen sixty-one
And with the slap of a hand he had landed as an only son
Mother and father said what a lovely boy
We'll teach him what we learned
Oh yes just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly and we'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight and be nobody's fool

Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

In the summer of sixty-three
His mother brought him a sister
And she told him we must attend to her needs

She's so much younger that you
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh how could his parents have lied
When they said he was the only son
He thought he was the only one

Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy

He left home on a winter day
Nineteen seventy-nine
And he hoped to find all the love he had
Lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up and she married a man
She gave him a son, oh yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight and be nobody's fool

Oh, oh what a lonely boy

Sit down here
Beside me
It's been so long since we've been real
No small talk
No smoke screens
It's time we talk about what we don't feel
These are the hardest words
I've ever had to say

It ain't about love anymore
We're just holdin' on to a dream this is gone
This ain't about us anymore
And it's just about ime we let og
I'll let go when i walk out that door
You'll know
It ain't about love anymore

It's not fair
To hurt you
I know you tried to do your part
A cold wind
Blows through me
It's been a ghost town in my lonely heart
This is the hardest thing
I've ever had to do

It ain't about love anymore
We're just holdin' on to a dream this is gone
This ain't about us anymore
And it's just about ime we let og
I'll let go when i walk out that door
You'll know
It ain't about love anymore

These are the hardest words
I've ever had to say

It ain't about love anymore
We're just holdin' on to a dream this is gone
This ain't about us anymore
And it's just about ime we let og
I'll let go when i walk out that door
You'll know
It ain't about love anymore

There's an agony hangin' over me
You know, i'm losin' sleep
And i've run out of excuses
For why i let you leave
You said you needed a little time
But it's been too long
I know you need your independence, girl
But i'm not that strong

Well there's got to be a way
That we can make ammends
This was all we ever wanted
Please don't let it end

Hold me harmless
There's nothin' else i can do
I'll always love you baby
Show some kindness
And hold me harmless

I've been told my love was gentle
Thought i had an easy touch
Until i met you, i never knew
You could love someone too much

Thought we'd last forever
I guess it just goes to show
If love is gonna put down roots
It's gotta have room to grow

My only crime of passion
Was that i pushed too hard
And if love's what i'm accused of
Then i'm guilty as charged

Hold me harmless
There's nothin' else i can do
I'll always love you baby
Show some kindness
And hold me harmless

Well i learned an honest lesson
Guess i never realized
If i overstepped my limit
Then i apologize

Won't you just hold me
Won't you just hold me

Hold me harmless
There's nothin' else i can do
I'll always love you baby
Show some kindness
And hold me harmless

All by myself
I was fine
No one else to remind me
Of all my pain inside
You looked at me
And i knew
You would be
The last thing i needed in my life

Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know it's gonna hurt
'cause you love is gonna tear me apart
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know we shouldn't start
'cause i need you
Like a hole in my heart

Don't smile that smile
Say those words
Knowing i'll wanna touch you
Then it will be too late
Just walk away
Don't look back
Let's just say that we're so much
Better off not temptin' fate

Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know it's gonna hurt
'cause you love is gonna tear me apart
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know we shouldn't start
'cause i need you
Like a hole in my heart

I've been in and out of love
And i thought i had enough
But there's nothin' in this world that i can do 'cause

I need you
Girl i need you
But i know it's gonna hurt
'cause your love is gonna tear me apart
Oh i need you
Girl i need you
But i know we shouldn't start
'cause i need you
Like a hold
Like a bullet through my soul
Girl i need you like a hole in my heart

Looking down that long road
She relieves me the memories
Wishing he had stayed and he never said goodbye

Lately she's been missing
All the nights he held her
The music slowly takes her heart
To another place in time

And she dances with her shadow
Staring out the window
A silver moon silhouette
Shining in her eyes
In her heart she knows that
He will never come back
She dances with her shadow
Alone once tonight

He was fast and reckless
No way she could hold him
Loved her like no other
Had ever done before

Some nights you can find her
Going through the motions
Broken dreams and photographs
All scattered on the floor

And she dances with her shadow
Staring out the window
A silver moon silhouette
Shining in her eyes
In her heart she knows that
He will never come back
She dances with her shadow
Alone once tonight

She dannces with her shadow again tonight

If that was a lie
That was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
Every word
If that was a lie
Was it something that you didn't really mean to say
But said it anyway
You can take it back if you want to
But i'm still gonna believe you
Every word
If that was a lie
It was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard

Tell me now was it my imagination
Or just a whisper on the wind
You know the tricks the heart can play
I swear i thought i heard you say
You loved me, yeah you loved me

If that was a lie
That was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
Every word
If that was a lie
Was it something that you didn't really mean to say
But said it anyway
You can take it back if you want to
But i'm still gonna believe you
Every word
If that was a lie
It was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard

I felt it in your tender touch
I wanted to believe so much
But was afraid to let you know
I've been waiting for so long to say i didn't hear you wrong
You loved me, yeah you loved me

If that was a lie
That was the sweetest lie that i have ever heard
Every word
It that was a lie
Was it something that you didn't really mean to say
But said it anyway

If that was a lie
