Lyrics
Love's Lot
(Words and music Gareth Ebbs)
Yesterday we were talking
And hangin by a thread
Today we went walking
And now our love is dead
Like a whirlwind ate us up and spat us out again
So I got past the river and I got so down
Is there anyone that love ain't kicked around?
I sat and I shivered and I got so down
If this is love's lot then I'll stay underground
Will we regret ever meeting
Now we see the cost
'Cause now there's two of us bleeding
And both of us are lost
I guess sometimes we jump when we're not sure where we may land
So I got past the river and I got so down
Is there anyone that love ain't kicked around?
I sat and I shivered and I got so down
If this is love's lot then I'll stay underground
I guess sometimes we jump when we're not sure where we may land
