Backstory:

I wrote the music and the lyrics for this song. Twila LaBar produced the demo. I did not sing on this demo.                                                                         

Lyrics:

                                                  
      Love Cannot Live

Verse 1
Like a rock stuck in a river
Underneath the current ’s flow
Her stony heart let love pass over
As Though she didn’t feel the cold
While the wand’ring water’s movin’ on
She’s sittin’, getting’ old

And you wonder if she’s ever been told…(that)


Chorus:  
Love can grow through desolation 
     
It can reach the long forgotten
     
Love can lift up a spirit with the gift of gentleness

But love cannot live with Bitterness

Verse 2
Now she holds onto the past 
Like it could save her from today
And she holds onto the pain
Like it could make it go away
If she’d ever let forgiveness in 
To mend the broken place….

She might find herself discovering grace…(for)

Bridge:
Anger turns to ashes
Resentment turns to rust, but
Freedom comes with letting go
And learning how to trust (that)…
