Love or the Lack

Lyrics

Copyright © 2005 Jim Ferrie Music Love or the lack of love It's a white-wing dove or a fork-tongue dragon It'll take you to what you've been dreamin' of Love or the lack of love It'll make you cry or it'll keep you laughin' Total despair to total satisfaction Sun up to sundown Turn this world around So many different ways And in the end it seems No matter what our dreams are We can live or die, for Love or the lack of love Love or the lack of love Take you way up high pull ya way down low Call to you now or a-tell ya to go Love or the lack of love Sowing the seeds of indifference and passion One man's feast is another mans's famine Sun up to sundown Turn this world around So many different ways And in the end it seems No matter what our dreams are We can live or die, for Love or the lack of love Love or the lack of love Livin' ev'ry act an' ev'ry new beginnin' Choice ya make ev'ry breathin' minute Love or the lack of love What you dream multiplies by the dozen Soon enough gonna get what's comin' Sun up to sundown Turn this world around So many different ways And in the end it seems No matter what our dreams are We can live or die, for Love or the lack of love

Description

Short Song Description: V/C construction. Matter-of-fact paradoxing of life with respect to living with love or the lack of it and how it comes full circle. More like Neil Diamond than Neil Young. Acoustic guitar and solo vocal.

Story Behind the Song: I met Tia Sillers at the Taxi Road Rally in L.A., Nov 2005 and she suggested a chorus lyric to put a verse to for a songwriting competition. In the end, I used the theme and a few of her suggested phrases in the verses and came up with a completely different chorus.
