Lyrics
The pain of parting is like jumping up and starting when you burn your hand in a flame.
You're um-and-aahing but the moment's turned to scarring and you snap at all the lovers' refrains.
And you'll never get over it, sometimes you'll just cry, but the moment is gone, don't even ask yourself why.
Some things aren't meant to be, they just don't work out,
You've got to try not to worry, see there's no need to shout.
The pain of leaving gives the dull ache of retrieving all the memories of things that went right.
The deep red kisses and never-ending blisses of every beautiful summer night.
And you may not find another to replace the one you lost.
Some people are so special you cannot match their cost.
You owe it to yourself to get back out there and try.
You don't know what you may find 'til you open up your eyes.
CHORUS
Sometimes the pain of parting sets you spinning.
Sometimes you can see you're not winning.
Sometimes you're buried deep in bad history.
Too deep to see you're missing all the mystery. Love's mystery.
The joy of loving is the luxury of shoving all the bad things to the back of your mind.
And yes you may well lose it, but unless you choose to use it,
The gift of love you will never find.
So jump down off your horse, and head into the saloon.
The sun is shining brightly as the lovers glow at noon.
It's not so dark and gloomy in the fields under the sky,
Smell the trees, the grass, the flowers, feel the pain inside you die.
CHORUS
