"Sometimes Life Leaves More Than It Takes" lyrics

Tell me something lovely, whisper sweetly
Tell me that the dogs won't bite
Tell me all your secrets, they'll complete me
Hold me if I tremble in the night

All I ever wanted was some peace of
Mind and to connect with the divine
My darling of the dark times, have we wandered
Far from the arbor, from that light?

'Cause everybody acts like this is all so easy
These days there's not enough heart left to break
But you and I, we know that none of this is easy
Still, sometimes life leaves more than it takes

At first this was a way to gather meaning
In a web where none was hung
But is this now a way to keep wounds weeping
Rather than allow time's salve be done?

'Cause everybody acts like this is all so easy
These days there's not enough heart left to break
But you and I, we know that none of this is easy
Still, sometimes life leaves more than it takes
Sometimes life leaves more than it takes

But how these resolutions die so deeply
Held though they are when first made
So tell me something lovely, whisper sweet, for
I am resolute, I will not fade

And everybody acts like this is all so easy
These days there's not enough heart left to break
But you and I, we know that none of this is easy
Still, sometimes life leaves more than it takes
(Sometimes life leaves more)
Sometimes life leaves more than it takes
(Sometimes life leaves more)
Sometimes life leaves more
(Sometimes life leaves more)
Sometimes life leaves more than it takes
(Sometimes life leaves more)

And, oh, what a difference one year makes
