When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Will I be ready?
When my feet won’t walk another mile?
And my lips give their last kiss goodbye?
Will my hands be steady when I lay down my fears, my hopes, and my doubts?
The rings on my fingers, and the keys to my house
With no hard feelings?
When the sun hangs low in the west
And the light in my chest won’t be kept held at bay any longer
When the jealousy fades away
And it’s ash and dust for casual lust
And it’s just hallelujah
And love in thoughts and love in the words
Love in the songs they sing in the church
And no hard feelings
Lord knows they haven’t done much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold
Mmm, hmm
When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings
Lord knows they haven’t done much good for anyone
Kept me afraid and cold
With so much to have and hold
Under the curving sky
I’m finally learning why
It matters for me and you
To say it and mean it too
For life and its lovely nest
And all of its ugliness
Good as it’s been to me
I have no enemies
I have no enemies
I’ll have no enemies
I have no enemies
Bob Crawford.... I am SOOOOOOOO HAPPY you guys found each other! Living in Idaho, and I have met folks out here who are nutz about Avetts... Hope you and your family are doing well these days... think about you often and the big leap of faith you took by signing on to play with these brothers. Best wishes to all of you... always!
Ugly crying. Let’s all make the most of our legs and lips -meet new people, learn all we can, and stay in touch with our loved ones, letting emotions flow, before it’s all gone.
I‘m reading a book where the avett brothers are mentioned. And now I just discovered this song. Within less than two months my grandmas and my grandpa died. Both of my grandmas died because of cancer. And now I just feel so lost. I can’t believe that I clicked this song. I started crying only by reading the comments. I just hope that they’re all together. I hope my grandma Gerda will see her husband I never got to meet again. I hope they’ll all see each other. I have the feeling that they are my angels and that they protect me. I can’t imagine everything happening without you. Christmas without you. I will love you forever. Thank you for the best childhood.
I came across this song this summer, around the time my wife was diagnosed with the heart problem that ultimately took her last week. She went peacefully with me and our daughter by her side. While this song rips me up, it is perfect, and we are planning on playing it at her service.
im a little bit buzzed on wine and canabis. i wanted to hear this song because i love it. but i could not think on it. . and i could at the moment not reach the name. than i used a method called prayer and i automaticaly typed true sadness and the first song in list was no hard feelings.
Take this kiss upon the browAnd in parting from you now Thus much let me avow You are not wrong who deem That all my life has been a dream..Yet if hope has flown away In a night or in the dayIn a vision or in noneIs it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream
I sit here in the middle of the desert and play this song. My heart cries out of the man I used to be. But the passing of time , the time I used and never thought that would end but would last forever, I feel its pain and end.
