Aireshire Lament Lyrics

[Instrumental: Bowed Psaltery]

[Verse 1]
Tell me a secret or tell me a lie
Tell me the truth if you have to
Say what you see fit but don't ask me why
Love never seems to last you

[Chorus]
In times like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees
In time like these
It's hard to keep a man off his knees

[Verse 2]
Over a barrel, under the spell
Money's the demon that drives you
Limping through heaven or running through hell
Happiness smiles but denies you
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Nothing before you, nothing behind
Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder
Traveling lightly, traveling blind
Never detouring to wonder why

[Verse 4]
Tell me a secret or tell me a lie
Tell me the truth if you have to
Say what you see fit but don't ask me why
Love never seems to last you

[Chorus]

Nothing before you, nothing behind
Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder
Traveling lightly, traveling blind
Never detouring to wonder why
