Life by Levellers

[hallavaris]

Life,
Number and a name,
Don't know what to think,
Don't know what to say.
Life,
Like the actor and the page,
When the curtains rise,
You must take to the stage.

You want to stand on the roof,
You want it too soon,
You must give it all away,
It's the price that you must pay.

Love,
Sometimes easy, sometimes strined,
Like the pictures that you paint,
Sometimes clear and sometimes grey,
Love is like a book,
With your writing on the page,
But the words that you write,
Are not the words you want to say.


You want to stand on the roof,
You want it too soon,
You must give it all away,
It's the price that you must pay.

Time,
Time just drifts away,
Like the ending of the line,
Like the parting of the way.
Time,
Time will never wait,
Like the words all in my head,
Can't be made to stay.


You want to stand on the roof,
You want it too soon,
You must give it all away,
It's the price that you must pay.
