What is love, but a sack of lead?
Under the willow tree
The young girl said.

What is love, but a sack of lead?
When the man cries
From what she said.

What is love, but a sack of lead?
He asked when they would be to-get-ther
She said baby, it'll be never

What is love, but a sack of lead?
Under the willow tree
The young man said

What is love, but a sack of lead?
Something I'd purchase
The old man said.

What is love?

A sack of lead.

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

-Confucius

LOL (will have to find a site graphic for that):

The phrase would be more germaine were one to say "Sex is a sack of lead". Hopefully things will get better.

Will have to find my American Baeuty CD... A worthwhile read, although composed at some cost I am sure. Thanks.

..I'm extremely confused by your comment.

BUT!

It wasn't inspired by real life events.

If that's not the truth...
It's easier to just fall into 'like'
Good write.

Love is a path to the heart that knows its own way.
