This Is Life

Colin Vearncombe (Black)


If your lonely heart is aching
Think you can’t take any more
You have to cup your hands to keep the light
I will lean across your shoulder
and whisper in your ear that this is life

If you’re old enough to face it
You’re old enough to fake it
To get what you desire and still ask why
Then I’ll tap you on the shoulder
and whisper in your ear that this is life

This is what you struggle for
No reprisals, no resistance
This is life

Can you answer me a question
Have you lain awake at night
The blinds undrawn the ceiling streaked with light
You feel tired but you can’t sleep
Feel so hungry you can’t eat
well this is life

Has your courage seemed to fail you
as you take your chosen path
You pass a camel through a needle’s eye
Cut up in tiny little pieces
and you’ve learned the major rule
that this is life

This is what you waited for
No rehearsals, no more stalling
This is life
Have it tattooed on the inside
of your pink and sleepy eyelids
This is life
This is life

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
grow more foolish than we can ever guess
You feel your nerve ends slowly coiling
You hope the answer’s no
The answer’s yes.

This is what you struggle for
No reprisals, no resistance
This is life
This is what you waited for
No rehearsals, no more stalling
This is life
If you can’t get what you ought
Lead by example
Don’t get caught
Cause this is life
This is life
This is life
This is life
This is life
Oh oh
This is life
