The Flesh Is Weak Lyrics - Singles - Copyright

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
