Copyright The Flesh Is Weak Lyrics

The flesh is weak, it goes one way
For these weeks of winter days, this cold won't go away
Through the young and carefree years, danger always was there near
As your will dissolves in tears of fear
Time will show what is threshed
Also sown, like a thrush, time has flown
If there's another world who knows
Past these Cadillacs in rows
Close your eyes, think of someone that you loved
And trouble not, remember all the joy they brought
For life is full of tears, and like a shot
It's soon over dear, but love is not
What a nightmare to be young, as the first rays
of awareness, like the sun, burn the fog away
Life brings death, but smile, and draw another breath
And when the disco dance is done
And last night's fun looks sick in the sun
And you don't know what's begun
Close your eyes, think of someone that you loved
And trouble not, remember all the joy they brought
For life is full of tears, and like a shot
It's soon over dear
Love's not enough to make the waves less rough
But like blood, a little goes a long way
In the darkness of uncertain days
It hurts to love someone this way
Though we seek to know its stay
The flesh is weak, it goes one way
