It Dont Bring You — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(mary chapin carpenter)



Well I know it aint been roses lately

Baby its just been thorns

And no matter what we do

Nothing seems to change

Love has always been my shelter

For you its been a storm

But for a while I thought

Wed almost beat the rain



Now theres a hole here in my pocket

Where all my dreams have gone

Falling out like so many nickels and dimes

And last of all you

Youd always been my good luck charm

I shouldve known that luck

It was a waste of time



Cause it dont bring you love if you dont love

And it dont bring you time if you aint got time

And it dont bring you strength baby if you aint strong

And it dont bring you kindness if you aint kind



Now theres a whole lot in life to be unsure of

But theres one thing I can safely say I know

That of all the things that finally desert us

Pride is always the last thing to go



But it dont bring you love if you dont love

And it dont bring you time if you aint got time

And it dont bring you strength baby if you aint strong

And it dont bring you kindness if you aint kind



And now I wish you only roses without the thorns

And I hope your dreams are always within reach

And I wish you shelter baby from all your storms

They scared you but they never seemed to teach



That I cant bring you love if you dont love

And I cant bring you time if you aint got time

And I cant bring you strength baby if you aint strong

And I cant bring you kindness if you aint kind

And I cant bring you kindness if you aint kind
