LOVE IS ALWAYS RISKY CURRENCY

about

A love song. A sad song, too.
You never know just how much loving a soul mate & committing your heart to someone will bring you into the presence of God unto you try it. And should you deeply fail in the endeavor?
Well, that's a big club. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, ask forgiveness...and try again.

Music side-bar backstory:
As most of you know, i've always loved the paisley-tinged neo-psychedelic sentiments of the 60's west coast sounds.

lyrics

LOVE IS ALWAYS RISKY CURRENCY
w&m: bill mallonee

Baby, how'd we get this far?
Not a snowball's chance in hell
Love is always risky currency
and hearts are always the hardest sell

Promises lay ribbons on the cutting room floor
and as far as i can tell
bright & beautiful just fades to black
and hearts are always the hardest sell

Could be the air; could be the drink
and the prophets they see nothing, w/ even less to tell
the undertaker, well, he hardly has time to think
and hearts are always the hardest sell

Time to wake. Time to rise.
You can hear the foreman's bell
Try to sing a psalm, but you're gonna hum the blues
'cause hearts are always the hard sell

Baby, how'd we get this far?
Not a snowball's chance in hell
Love is always heavy currency
and hearts are always the hard sell
