[00:00:00] Ain't Life A Brook - Ferron

[00:00:01] Written by：Ferron Foisy

[00:00:13] I watch you reading a book

[00:00:16] I get to thinking our love's a polished stone

[00:00:20] You give me a long drawn look

[00:00:23] I know pretty soon you're going to leave our home

[00:00:27] And of course I mind

[00:00:30] Especially when I'm thinking from my heart

[00:00:33] But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track

[00:00:37] It comes together and it comes apart

[00:00:40] You say you hope I'm not the kind

[00:00:43] To make you feel obliged

[00:00:46] To go ticking through your time

[00:00:50] With a pained look in your eyes

[00:00:55] You give me the furniture we'll divide the photographs

[00:01:02] Go out to dinner one more time

[00:01:06] Have ourselves a bottle of wine

[00:01:08] And a couple of laughs

[00:01:12] And when first you left

[00:01:15] I stayed so sad I wouldn't sleep

[00:01:19] I know that love's a gift I thought yours was mine

[00:01:22] And something that I could keep

[00:01:25] Now I realize that time is not the only compromise

[00:01:31] But a bird in the hand could be an all night stand

[00:01:34] Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies

[00:01:39] So I hope I'm not the kind

[00:01:41] To make you feel obliged

[00:01:44] To go ticking through your time

[00:01:48] With a pained look in your eyes

[00:01:53] I covered the furniture I framed the photographs

[00:02:00] Went out to dinner one more time

[00:02:04] Had myself a bottle of wine and a couple of laughs

[00:02:09] And just the other day

[00:02:13] I got your letter in the mail

[00:02:15] I'm happy for you its been so long

[00:02:19] You've been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail

[00:02:22] And I think that's great me

[00:02:25] I seem to find myself in school

[00:02:28] It's all OK I just want to say

[00:02:32] I'm so relieved we didn't do it cruel

[00:02:35] But ain't life a brook

[00:02:38] Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone

[00:02:41] I give me along drawn look

[00:02:45] It's kind of a drag to find yourself alone

[00:02:48] And sometimes I mind

[00:02:51] Especially when I'm waiting on your heart

[00:02:54] But life don't clickety clack down a straight line track

[00:02:58] It comes together and it comes apart

[00:03:01] Cause I know you're not the kind

[00:03:04] To make me feel obliged

[00:03:07] To go ticking through my time with a pained look

[00:03:13] In my eyes

[00:03:15] I sold the furniture I put away the photographs

[00:03:22] Went out to dinner one more time

[00:03:26] Skipped the bottle of wine

[00:03:28] Had a couple of laughs

[00:03:31] And wasn't it fine
