Ferron - Ain t life a brook Lyrics

I watch you reading a book
I get to thinking our love s a polished stone
You give me a long drawn look
I know pretty soon you re going to leave our home
And of course I mind,
especially when I m thinking from my heart
But life don t clickety clack down a straight line track
It comes together and it comes apart.
You say you hope I m not the kind
To make you feel obliged
To go ticking through your time
With a pained look in your eyes
You give me the furniture, we ll divide the photographs
Go out to dinner one more time
Have ourselves a bottle of wine
And a couple of laughs
And when first you left
I stayed so sad I wouldn t sleep
I know that love s a gift, I thought yours was mine
And something that I could keep
Now I realize that time is not the only compromise
But a bird in the hand could be an all night stand
Between a blazing fire and a pocket of skies
So I hope I m not the kind
To make you feel obliged
To go ticking through your time
With a pained look in your eyes
I covered the furniture, I framed the photographs
Went out to dinner one more time
Had myself a bottle of wine and a couple of laughs
And just the other day
I got your letter in the mail
I m happy for you, its been so long
You ve been wanting a cabin and a backwoods trail
And I think that s great...me...
I seem to find myself in school
It s all Ok, I just want to say
I m so relieved we didn t do it cruel
But ain t life a brook
Just when I get to feeling like a polished stone
I give me along drawn look
It s kind of a drag to find yourself alone
And sometimes I mind
Especially when I m waiting on your heart
But life don t clickety clack down a straight line track
It comes together and it comes apart.
Cause I know you re not the kind
To make me feel obliged
To go ticking through my time with a pained look
In my eyes
I sold the furniture, I put away the photographs
Went out to dinner one more time
Skipped the bottle of wine
Had a couple of laughs
And wasn t it fine....
