LIFE GOES ON
©Trev Teasdel Coventry May 79
On the cold hearted steps
of a city’s slum street flats
Where poverty harden’s the hearts
of the most gentle caring souls.
Where problems play cat and mouse
with a persons peace of mind,
stood a young girl treated so
heartlessly unkind.
Chorus
And now she knows that lovers lie
and when they leave you, you gotta try
to carry on..
Life goes on and on and on.
She wandered along the street
her steps the cautious kind.
As if afraid the concrete
might be quicksand.
Past lofty tenement houses
bombed and battered in their time,
skin well thickened from
the stress and trial of life.
Could see her tender heart was torn
by love’s abandonment.
Her sighs told the street
that love had been unkind
She had given everything
she had been robbed blind.
Her heart was in a tangle
only one man could untie
for whatever that man had done
her heart was his it is no lie.
Could see her tender heart was torn
by love’s abandonment.
Her sighs told the street
that love had been unkind
She had given everything
she had been robbed blind.
Her heart was in a tangle
only one man could untie
for whatever that man had done
her heart was his it is no lie.
