Gordon Lightfoot
Stay Loose
[Verse 1]
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 beyond 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
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
