lyrics

LIFE, LIFE Capo 0 Strings (6-1) E F# B F# B D#

The rain blew in through your window last night, soaked your bed and your favourite book
You woke up feeling life was not right, went outside to take a look
The sun was out and the birds were singing, everywhere the trees were in bud
You went for a long walk and came back smiling, the sun on the window had dried it all out

Life, life is a funny old game, one day to the next it’s never the same
Life, Life is a funny old thing, sometimes it makes you cry
And sometimes it makes you sing
Oh sometimes it makes you sing

The wind got up and it bought down a sycamore, hit the ground and the birds took flight
We cut up the trunk and we piled up the branches, took us all day and most of the night
One year on and the wood fire’s burning, fed from a pile of sycamore logs
The branches are overgrown, made a new home for a litter of hedgehogs

Life, life is a funny old game, one day to the next it’s never the same
Life, Life is a funny old thing, sometimes it makes you cry
And sometimes it makes you sing
Oh sometimes it makes you sing

So if the rain blows in your window, everything wet is the first thing you see
But every misfortune hides an opportunity, all you’ve got to do is find the key
Under a raincloud it’s dark and stormy , fly up above it and it’s bathed in light
And if you’ve got to pull up an old wet carpet there’s a wood floor under it to bring back to life

Life, life is a funny old game, one day to the next it’s never the same
Life, Life is a funny old thing, sometimes it makes you cry
And sometimes it makes you sing
Oh sometimes it makes you sing
