Ben Schenberg - Loving and Losing Lyrics

The devil plays tricks in the candlelight
And the bottom shelf liquor just hold me tight
I'm going down in a way I've never known
It's easy to get lost when you're alone

A fool slips down from his favorite hill
Getting all weighed down with his water bill
It's a day by day but hold that head up high
You might start to drown but you never die
You might start to drown but you never die

Even on the worst of day's we're all still getting by
And even when the world is burning keep your candlelight
And if you give some love it's coming round
Breaking chains that only you have bound

A mother cries out for her daughters youth
As she finds true love in a photo both
It's a rarity but pure as solid gold
She might just be happy when she's old

A wandering man with a marionette
He pulls the strings of his own regrets
All he wants to do is make the people smile
And he gets what he needs once in a while
He gets what he needs once in a while

And even on the worst of days the sun is shining bright
And even when the world is burning rain will dim that light
And if you give some love it's coming round
Breaking chains that only you have bound

And it's hard when you're taking it slow
Going far but never getting home

And every time you see a solemn face
Just grant that soul with a warm embrace
Well you never know what your happiness can do
Maybe that love's coming round to you
And maybe you can love yourself too
