What Good is a Love Song

album and band name

from Menn Ársins by Menn Ársins

 
about
A simple song about one's unnecessary hesitation and doubt – "life is what happens to you when you‘re busy making other plans" (Lennon)
lyrics
Three long years
And nothing seems to be done
We have circled around each other for so long
If ever pop the question
Will you stand up and walk away
So what good is a love song
If nothing else is OK

Three more years
The feeling has settled inside
And the words never spoken aloud will be spoken tonight
If I say after all these years
That I love you just the same
What good is a love song
If you turn me away

If I turn my back on everything and ignore all the feelings inside
Could I learn to let go and just walk away
just to proof these feelings ain't right
All that's left unsaid
Boils on in my head
But each time I believe I'll can do it
it slips from my hand

Ten long years
And the children run around
In this house we built on our own stone by stone from the ground
If I ever look back and question
When you sat there and thought it through
What good is a love song
If you know I love you
