[00:00.68]Take this heart of mine out the winter
[00:05.79]And let the new life of Springtime come rest at our door
[00:10.60]May the soul of my brother never bow to the wicked
[00:15.86]And the hearts of our children waltz together once more
[00:20.78]Because love is a Hard Waltz and we could all use a
[00:26.08]Lesson in giving
[00:28.92]And we give it hearts it could teach us the
[00:34.73]Rhythm if only we're willing
[00:38.88]Now my mother's had a hard life in learnin' to dance
[00:44.23]My father did leave her on the dance floor at midnight
[00:49.20]Though they shared a true love he did not understand
[00:54.82]That all she ever wanted was a hand in her own life
[00:59.67]Love is a Hard Waltz and we could all use a
[01:04.80]Lesson in giving
[01:07.53]And we give it hearts it could teach us the
[01:12.81]Rhythm if only we're willing
[01:17.32]I know women who gather for the hatred of men
[01:22.72]And their eyes are as closed as the blind Ku Klux Klan
[01:27.58]There are men who would love those same women as friends
[01:32.45]Oh brother and sister they'd stand in the end
[01:38.20]Love is a Hard Waltz and we could all use a
[01:43.35]Lesson in giving
[01:46.08]And we give it hearts it could teach us the
[01:51.78]Rhythm if only we're willing
[02:16.49]Now we've all lived in fear of the needs of our neighbours
[02:21.65]Yet we voice our opinions through weak politicians
[02:26.74]Hey the shores of our country have closed for this season
[02:31.76]And our lady of the harbour stands lonely and weeping
[02:36.74]Because love is a Hard Waltz and we could all use a
[02:42.39]Lesson in giving
[02:44.96]And we give it hearts it could teach us the
[02:50.60]Rhythm if only we're willing
