Life and Love Lyrics by Tacoma Narrows

Good Mourning

2015

[Verse 1]
Walking down the streets late at sunset
An old man held out an empty palm
He said, "Sir, can you spare me a dollar?"
I said, "Sorry, sire, I'm fresh out of ones"
[Chorus]
Well life and love
Were the two things I was thinking of
When she sold her soul that night
[Verse 2]
Walking through the streets late at midnight
A young girl I happened to spy
"Sir, would you like to buy these lilacs?"
"Sorry, sweetheart, I'm not that kind of guy
[Chorus]
Well life and love
Were the two things she was thinking of
When he sold his soul that night
[Verse 3]
Walking through the meadows at high noon
When a shepherd a happened to see
Said, "Sir, would you like to buy this Bible?"
I said, "Sorry, Father, the good book is not for me"
[Chorus]
Well life and love
Were the two things he was thinking of
When he sold his soul at night
[Verse 4]
I was walking down the beach early this morning
An old widow I happened to cross
Said, "Sir, would you like to buy this sailboat?"
I said, "How much would a sailboat like that cost?"
[Chorus]
Well the tide had gone out
And the wind had died down
When I sailed that sailboat away at half-rise
[Chorus]
Life and love
Were the two things I was thinking of
When I sailed away
When I sailed away
When I sailed away
To death
