From the recording Say My Name
No Shortcut To Love combines bluesy riffs with a series of life lessons, including the hard-won knowledge that love requires sacrifice and forgiveness is a challenge like no other. There’s no straight line when life is well- lived.
Lyrics
There’s no shortcut to love
No easy sailing above
No dive that’s too deep
No thrill that’s too cheap
There’s no hiding your wounds
No way to capture the moon
No fork in the road with U turns
No ripples that do not return
There’s no existing alone
No lies that don’t grow
No bypassing pain
With each loss and each gain
There’s no limit to sound
No boundary beyond
No challenge like trying to forgive
No straight line when life is well-lived
With no shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
No shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
There’s no adventure outrun
No victory undone
No one’s lost in the end
Can’t forget we were friends
No way to know when you start
Evolving’s rough on your heart
No cheating the clock as it flies
This web’s more tangled than we realize
Life’s a grand improvise
With no shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
No shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
There’s no shortcut to love
