Continental Drifters - Live on Love lyrics

Sometimes I lose my faith, sometimes I lose my way back home

When my communion's done, sometimes my strengths have been atoned

And hardly ever does it feel like the part of it that's real is the part that holds the rope

That's when we live on love, that's when we hold our dreams and hope

I'm not the only one who understands the wants and needs

I'm not the only one who feels the shaking underneath

As you yourself have often said, we had better well get ready for the worst to come along

That's when we live on love, and do what's best not right or wrong

Do you take it all to heart, does it make it all the harder to apply

I would have to wonder why

They build you monuments, you get that gold watch in the end

Stick around long enough and become the world's best friend

And see the look on every face when we finally take our place at the top you will recall

That's when we live on love, and love's the best part of it all

Sometimes I wake up with that fire in my brain

Sometimes I wake up and I cannot feed the flame

And when the rest of it goes dark and I cannot feel the spark to repeat the sad refrain

That's when we live on love, I must remind myself again
