Stay Loose…Gordon Lightfoot
If you've got a heartache
Of the kind that will not pass by
Even if you don't see the end
Of what lies around the bend
Don't stay that way
It's all in a day believe me
Even the best of dreams must end
Even so it grieves me
Stay loose, don't fight it
Let it take you all the way and
If it's wrong, you will right it
Do not waste these hours away
How many times have I told you
These are the tears I've shed
Could it be that I need help
Is it maybe I've come undone
And one thing more
You know it don't come easy
Even the best of friends must part
Even so it grieves me
Stay loose, don't fight it
Let love take a holiday
If it's wrong, you're gonna right it
Do not waste these hours away
Soon the storm will be over
And the clouds will all pass by
To be insane beyond belief
Is sometimes the best relief
And one thing sure
Love never did come easy
Even the best of dreams must end
Even so it grieves me
Stay loose, don't fight it
Let it take you all the way and
If it's wrong, you will right it
Do not waste these hours away
Stay loose, don't fight it
Let love take a holiday
If it's wrong, you're gonna right it
Do not waste these hours away
To be insane beyond belief
Is sometimes the best relief…
Yes…to be insane beyond belief. I know that one. It's been a state of being for me. I confess. Being a bachelor for all of my life…most of my life. Married twice now…divorced 14 or 15 times. I lost count along the way. You'd think it would be a haven…some sanctuary. Love…it's a crazy thing.
Could it be that I need help
Is it maybe I've come undone
It's a beautiful and haunting song. One that I keep in my pocket at all times. The railroad tracks across my heart. If you've got heartache…tell me about it Gordon. Tell me all about it…Brother. My sister Carol was a Gordon Lightfoot "groupie". She turned me on to Gordon many years ago. I met him in Windsor one winter evening. He was older…but brother, he can sing. He can deliver a message.
These are the tears I've shed…they still grieve me. One thing more…love never did come easy.
Thanks for this song. It cuts to the quick.
…and oh yeah…that Novak Djokovic is really something. Isn't he?
