LOVE

C Em

Love won’t bring back a coat that’s lent
F stepping up G#`
Love won’t straighten out a spoke that’s bent
Am G
And Love won’t turn the night back into
F G
day again
Love won’t bring back an hour that’s lost
And Love won’t guarantee a coin that’s tossed
And Love won’t take the universe and make it go away…

C
Love won’t cure the cold (In case you missed it)
Am
Love will break the mold (But Love will make you risk it)
F or Dm G
Love is just a time and place and
Em Am Am7
Love has such a pretty face

Love won’t bring back a rock that’s thrown
Love won’t make somebody else your own
Love will shake the ground beneath each seed that’s sown

Love won’t cure the cold (In case you missed it)
Love will break the mold (But Love will make you risk it)
Love is just a time and place and Love has such a pretty face

Brian Gagnon You do a great job blending stories and music. People should listen.

David Young This one is really nice! I downloaded it so I can listen a lot more. The guitar part fits perfectly. Your voice is so distinctive -- Leslie was playing the song on her phone and I recognized your voice instantly. (I think it was the first note you sang that gave it away!) You are amazingly talented and I continue to be impressed by your knack for writing thoughtful lyrics and for your incredible output of great songs.

Begs to be incorporated in a rock opera.

"Love is just a pretty face" a line full of meaning, speaks volumes. I like the more tender vocal. Ha, now you'll say you didn't change that! Such a great song! Cheers Bethan

Cool tune JMT - Love that lead guitar. Has an Ozark Mountain Daredevils quality to it.

Excellent track mate.

Yep, I could hear Neil Young and Queen, but also early David Bowie and Mott the Hoople - all of which (with the exception of Neil Young) form the very foundations of my record collection. I'm a complete sucker for this song.

JR James said July 22, 2012 4:06pm

This is like Neil Young getting together with Queen and doing a ballad. Very cool arrangement!

Andrew Russe said July 22, 2012 4:00pm

It's not just gorgeous. It's utterly, utterly, wonderful. It says everything about "love" that folks like me (all my life I've been one of those dangerous "in love with being in love" people) need and want to hear. It makes grown men cry (quite literally here at the moment). I can't think what else to say - I SO wish I'd written this. Thankyou.

Ooooooo! Gorgeous.

Wonderful song!
