A Lone of Love - Coal Parker

Was aiming to try and write an upbeat song. Lost my old recording camera so this quality is a bit rougher too, my apologies for that. Its largely about how people eventually settle for what they can get if they dont fall in love, but there may be no harm in that in the end.

LYRICS

Everything comes at a price even love
You cant plan anymore than you ever could

Everything comes at a cost to the heart
From a thousand young loves to a piece of prize art

Everything comes as a loan to the soul
They give you the credit and you pay them back with hearts broke
And the price you trade is your life on your own

Everyone jumps between loving and sex
is there true definition or do you just call it that when theyre ex-?
Or are you switching your mind to how many drinks you had?

Everyone hopes at a cost of their youth
You think you'll do better, but maybe then they'll better you
Oh you cant force love to be true, can you?

Everyone here just look around the place
Is there one girl or boy, you'd like to chase in this race?
Cos, their aint no victory in dying alone in old age.


Ta for listening.

I'm blown away! *****

Oh and LOVE, you're not going to like this at first, but think about. "You know you're in LOVE when you allow someone to abuse of you"....heard that from a barman one day and refused to give it any credence, until time did its thing and showed me how right he was. What he omitted to say though is it generates great songs....:-)

[josealonsoleon]

Great stuff, I've been listening to a few of your pieces and time to comment. Not about your work, its perfect but the words say a lot and those are what triggered my need to comment. Life is not a competition and the concept of victory over it is futile, we all die alone whether it be of old age or not. You are born alone, you live alone, some live alone among others, but still alone and WE ALL die alone.....continued..

I am impressed by your lyrics, all of them express perfectly, and fit the melodies perfectly.. !!!! great job again Coal :)

[skhughesband]
