lyrics
Living Proof
One day gone that you might have gotten wrong
So you breathe in deep tonight
Looking back now it’s a faded dark cloud
Even shadows and shade need light
Every love song is an aching to belong
A plea for a warm embrace
Pleasure and pain like the sun and the rain
Living side by side, love/hate
How do you know when it’s time
To walk away
Listen to heart or mind
A crackling flame in the night
Before a hurricane
Giving a warning sign?
Love can lift you up
And let you fall
To pieces on the ground
Love is human touch
And don’t we all
Need that living proof
Someone let’s you down like they shouldn’t be allowed
It used to leave a bitter taste
Poisonous risk so you don’t drink it in
You learn from your mistakes
But how do you know when it’s time
To walk away
Listen to heart or mind
A crackling flame in the night
Before a hurricane
Giving a warning sign?
Love can lift you up
And let you fall
To pieces on the ground
Love is human touch
And don’t we all
Need that living proof
Love can lift you up
And let you fall
To pieces on the ground
Love is human touch
And don’t we all
Need that living proof

Always excited to learn and hear what Alex Lifeson does next and this is a fabulous pivot. And Maiah Wynne is a poetic vocal talent, infusing her performance with complex emotion. More please! Perchance Music & Digital Media (SM)
This is everything I love about John Wesley - organic and emotional, with that indescribable (shimmering?) Wesley guitar that elevates everything he touches.
