More You Live

about

Recorded on a Fostex X15 four-track, South Berwick, Maine, late 1990.

lyrics

***********************
The more you live,
The greater your chance of dying.
The more you give, it's all the more
You'll stand accused of not trying.
The more you love,
The more you open yourself to pain
Like the time before.
The more you hate,
The greater your chance to be
Decorated in a war.

The ones who tell
You what to do can go to hell.
The ones who learned
Forgot all there was to tell. Oh well.
And Wednesday morning, I felt
I could crawl under a rock into a hole.
By Wednesday evening, I'd regained
At least part of my soul.

There isn't time to waste
Time thinking 'bout wasting time.
There isn't space, except among
The fine print between the lines.
And when you find that you've
Forgotten what you've lost and never found
And when you find you've lost what you've forgotten
And left somewhere, laying around,
The more you love,
The more you open yourself to pain
Like the time before.
The more you hate,
The greater your chance to be
Decorated in a war.

(1990 Nimyonta Music)
