If It Doesn't Come Naturally Leave It
Al Stewart
Nothing that's forced can ever be right That's what she said as she turned out the light If it doesn't come naturally, leave it And we bent our backs as slaves of the night Then she lowered her guard and showed me the scars Saying oh, you'd better believe it. She got from trying to fight Well I'm up to my neck in the crumbling wreckage
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect Of all that I wanted from life Though I swallowed the lign as a sign of the times They saidBut dealing a jack from the back of the pack
Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on Oh, I said, who needs it? With the jokers that got in my way And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure That you know what I mean when I say Well nothing that's real is ever for free That I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take.
And you just have to pay for it sometime I suppose she believed there was nothing to see But the same old four imaginary walls She said it before, she said it to me She built for living inside
I said oh, you just can't meana it Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more she was just looking around for a way She was out on a limb, she was reaching for things And she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before. That she wanted, but just couldn't say Well nothing that's forced can ever be right
If it doesn't come naturally, leave it That's what she said as she turned out the light But I woke with the frost, and noticed she'd lost And she may have been wrong, and she may have been right The veil that covered her eyes I said oh, you can leave it.
