lyrics

A Little Living/A Little Dying

A little living, a little dying as you face each & every day
A little loving, a little dying now they’ve gone away.

A little living, a little dying as you wonder why your dreams went wrong
A little living, a little dying as you sing your broken songs.

Chorus
I have loved & lost three women; down all my lonely days
Been loved by those three women; been moved & touched, amazed
Known & lost three women; through years of & hurt & pain
Found life & joy in women; but will love ever come again?

A little grieving, a little crying as you search for hope in a box of wine
A little grieving, a little crying as they ignore the words you write on line.

A little sighing, a little denying as their photos stare down from your wall
A little sighing, a little denying hoping they still might one day call.

Chorus

A little knowing, a little growing; weary of the years that you have mourned
A little knowing, a little growing: sick & tired of always being scorned.

A little living, a little dying as you face every same old day
A little living, a little dying as you remember the love that flew away.

Rachel will my sun shine? Sheila will my sun shine?
Vera will my sun shine? Woman will my sun shine?

Chorus

A little living, a little dying as you hope they might recall your name
A little living, a little dying as you carry their love like a sacred flame
As you carry their love like a sacred flame; as you carry their love like a sacred flame.
