Heard this on A Prairie Home Companion on 5/7/11. Let me know if I made any
mistakes and I'll fix 'em.

Ain't it Enough
Show me a river I'll show you an ocean
show you a castle turn into sand
for we rise and we fall and we crash on the coastline
only our love will last till the end
fortune is fleeting your time is deceiving
our bodies are weak and they turn into dust
though following blindly but love is like lightning
strikes only one time, but ain’t it enough
Chrous:
Ain't it enough to live by the ways of the world
to be part of the picture, whatever it's worth
throw your arms round each other and love one another
it's only one life that we got, and ain't it enough
surely all people were made for each other
so let the prison walls crumble and borders all tumble
there's place for us all here and ain't it enough
Chorus
Bridge:
Late in the evening, feeling the wind blow
tall(?) through the treetops, warm in the sun
lying beside you, watching the moon rise
that's all there is babe, and ain't it enough?
Show me a river I'll show you an ocean
stars just like diamonds shining above
where the heavens are beaming and all the world's dreaming
peace everlasting and ain't it enough.
Chorus
