Uncommon Life

©2004, Scott Ainslie

Uncommon life: uncommon love.
Uncommon life: uncommon love.

Can we believe – in a foreign land
Where we'll dance again and again and again:
Eye to eye, hand to hand;
We touch this flame.

Uncommon life: uncommon love.
Uncommon life: uncommon love.

Walk me by the water, under the trees,
Let me feel the cold.
Come hold me close, if you please,
Like you did before – Oh, don't let me go.

Uncommon life: uncommon love.
Uncommon life: uncommon love.

They're hunting you and me;
We can hear the dogs in the night,
And see the torches weave.
If they ever reach this height,
We may burn easily – but we'll make a
strange and beautiful light....

[Inst: Uncommon life: uncommon love.]
[Inst: Uncommon life: uncommon love.]
Sung: Uncommon life: uncommon love.

The wind, the rain – in the gathering storm
We've lost our way.
We'll lie the night in each other's arms,
And embrace the day – when it comes:

Uncommon Life: uncommon love.
Uncommon Life: uncommon love.

It's amazing what some people will do when someone else falls in love.

It matters a good deal whether you love someone, and a good deal less who.
