the flesh is weak
The flesh is weak, it goes one way For these weeks of winter days, this cold won't go away Through the young and carefree years, danger always was there near As your will dissolves in tears of fear Time will show what is threshed Also sown, like a thrush, time has flown If there's another world who knows Past these Cadillacs in rows Close your eyes, think of someone that you loved And trouble not, remember all the joy they brought For life is full of tears, and like a shot It's soon over dear, but love is not What a nightmare to be young, as the first rays of awareness, like the sun, burn the fog away Life brings death, but smile, and draw another breath And when the disco dance is done And last night's fun looks sick in the sun And you don't know what's begun Close your eyes, think of someone that you loved And trouble not, remember all the joy they brought For life is full of tears, and like a shot It's soon over dear Love's not enough to make the waves less rough But like blood, a little goes a long way In the darkness of uncertain days It hurts to love someone this way Though we seek to know its stay The flesh is weak, it goes one way
