This is one of many songs pencilled in for the album idea I mentioned in the other post. Musically it's all quite cheery really, almost a hoedown like Altogether Now by The Beatles. It's called Certain Practicalities.
Well I felt love,
that much is true.
In the beginning
you felt it too,
but it went wrong
I'm sad to say.
Our independence
got in the way.
What was the problem?
What can we diagnose?
Well there were certain practicalities
like any part of life.
We found each other's life got in the way.
We had no time to be together close,
a time when "we" were "us".
The certain practicalities of love.
We both had sex.
What can we say.
Could have been better,
but was okay.
We had no time.
We worked all day.
We both had families
get in the way.
What was the problem?
What can we diagnose?
Well there were certain practicalities,
that's all that we can say.
We cared about more things than only us,
and there were bills and work and other things
to complicate the day.
We didn't have the time for love.
(solo)
So now that's it,
and we're apart,
just like we had been
right from the start
for there were certain practicalities
that we could not conclude.
We found each other's life got in the way,
and in the evening hours we'll dream about
the love that came unglued,
and how were not together every day.
