Stay Loose Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

If you've got a heartache 

Of the kind that will not pass by 

Even if you don't see the end 

Of what lies around the bend 

Don't stay that way 

It's all in a day believe me 

Even the best of dreams must end 

Even so it grieves me 

Stay loose, don't fight it 

Let it take you all the way and 

If it's wrong, you will right it 

Do not waste these hours away 

How many times have I told you 

These are the tears I've shed 

Could it be that I need help 

Is it maybe I've come undone 

And one thing more 

You know it don't come easy 

Even the best of friends must part 

Even so it grieves me 

Stay loose, don't fight it 

Let love take a holiday 

If it's wrong, you're gonna right it 

Do not waste these hours away 

Soon the storm will be over 

And the clouds will all pass by 

To be insane beyond belief 

Is sometimes the best relief 

And one thing sure 

Love never did come easy 

Even the best of dreams must end 

Even so it grieves me 

Stay loose, don't fight it 

Let it take you all the way and 

If it's wrong, you will right it 

Do not waste these hours away 

Stay loose, don't fight it 

Let love take a holiday 

If it's wrong, you're gonna right it 

Do not waste these hours away
