Story Behind The Song

Love is a thing we no longer share Written 6/21/1990 Copyright 2004 T & A Music Productions This song I wrote back in 1990 as well. So many times if your in a relationship instead of breaking up you kind of just go through the motions. I wrote it after I taught myself how to play my grandfathers mandolin we found in the attic. In 2004 when I was doing this album I got the idea to make it a duet. I?ve known Alexandra Reo as she sang lead in Sal?s Band. I wrote some female lyrics, and I got her in my studio and we did a quick Demo and it sounded great.

Lyrics

(Love is a thing) We no longer share

You say that you dont want nothing

You dont want to talk and you dont want no food

I cant even eat an English Muffin

Without you telling me how to do it

I dont want to hear your complaining

I'm so damn tired of fighting with you

It seems theres no way of gaining

any respect for the things I do




Whats waiting out there? I don't know but I dont care

Because love is a thing we no longer share


You say that you don?t want nothing,

You don?t look at me, like you always used to.

I make myself to look like something

You would want but it never leads to

The Romance we had is now straining

I?m so damn tired of fighting with you

It seems theres no way of gaining

Any respect for the things I do


Chorus


Its high time that we say it, its time to face it, that we are through

the last 6 months we tried to fake it,

and to each other we have not been true

I dont want to hear your complaining

I'm so damn tired of fighting with you

It seems theres no way of gaining

any respect for the things I do
