A great Canadian song by a great Canadian Songwriter. "Lovers In A Dangerous Time", by Bruce Cockburn. The song was also covered by the Barenaked Ladies, but I like the original. I must have listened to it 10 times today. It felt good with the sun shining on me - even though it is 40F outside. I will let the lyrics speak for themselves, but I highlighted the lines that I find particularly inspirational as I go through my tribulations.
DBers! Let's not waste our lives! Make every day meaningful. Make every day matter.
Lovers In A Dangerous Time
Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin -- this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste
When you're lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime -- But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight -- Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time And we're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time
