ain't life a brook - greg brown 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 gonna 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
well divide the photographs
go out to dinner one more time
have ourselves a bottle of wine
and a couple of laughs

when first you left i stayed so sad
i wouldn’t sleep
i know love’s a gift
i thought yours was mine
and something
that i could keep
now i realize
time is not the only compromise
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
just the other day
i got your letter in the mail
i’m happy for you
it’s 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 okay
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 get me a long 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 last time
had myseff a bottle of wine
and a couple of laughs
for wasn’t it fine
