Life Song - Mary Hopkin

Seems like I’m always runnin'

Always chasin' poet’s dreams

But this voice that keeps on whisperin'

«Girl, you’ll never quite know what it means»

And they say it would be so easy for me

If I accepted what I see with my eye

But I can’t help thinkin'

No, won’t stop thinkin'

Or lookin' for another sign

Oh, oh life, won’t you let me ride?

Oh, life, won’t you let me ride?

Oh, life

Cobbled stones and school yard bones

Are coverin' the streets and lanes

Oh, wasn’t it sometimes beautiful?

Oh, and wasn’t it all insane?

And don’t we all fit together somehow

Or is it only just me?

Is anyone home

Or am I sailin' alone

On my own little part of the sea?

Oh, oh life, won’t you lend me your key?

Oh, life, won’t you lend me the key?

Oh, life

Life, sit down and talk with me

I’ve got some things to say

Why do you give me the feelin' that I know you so well

And then I you watch you take it all away?

Life, you’re like that man that I love

But I’ll never understand

I swear I’ll have nothin' to do

Neither of you

But I keep runnin' right back again

Oh, oh life, won’t we ever be friends?

Oh, life, can’t we just be friends?

Oh, life, will we ever be friends?

Oh, life
