Lyrics
Beth,
Okay, here are lyrics for Living Well and Gravity --
LIVING WELL
Lyrics and music by Kathryn Lorenzen
Copyright 2001
Times when I¹ve been treated bad
When life has tripped me up and made me sad
I run and hide inside my shell
And forget that
Living well, living well is the best revenge
Used to be when I lost a love
Had my heart thrown to the ground from someplace high above
I thought that lovin¹ again would be a tough sell
But time passes and
Living well, living well is the best revenge
It¹s so tempting to want to spite
Those who give you grief
But in the long run it just feels so right
To make them envy you with no relief
Long time past when I had a good feeling
Rose on up and slammed into that glass ceiling
My best friend said you can be mad as hell
Just remember that
Living well, living well is the best revenge
It¹s so tempting to want to spite
Those who give you grief
But in the long run it just feels so right
To make them envy you with no relief
Now that I have found my heart¹s desire
A love that¹s true and a path leading higher
I want to climb the hill and ring the bell and spread the news that
Living well, living well is the best and
Living well, living well is the best and
Living well, living well is the best revenge
GRAVITY

You have seen my nakedness
You have seen my shining light
You have seen my darkness
Illumined by the night
And still you are here, still you are here, still you are a part of me
Still you are here, still you are here, you are my gravity
I have seen your reticence
You never did go clear
You have dropped your last defense
Standing in your fear
And still you are here, still you are here, still you are a part of me
Still you are here, still you are here, you are my gravity
And what keeps us together
In this time and place
And what keeps us from ever
Just hurtling through space
And it is no coincidence
You are here with me today
We have never lost our innocence
We just watched it fly away
And still you are here, still you are here, still you are a part of me
Still you are here, still you are here, you are my gravity
You are my gravity
