No Mind For Losing Face

no mind for losing face chalk and cheese and white bread, black coffee we did not make it through without the grind no softer thrill to tempest of ill will fair enough to say we've had our time I do suppose we could romance the ghost reminisce on those days gone by but I for one would sooner be gone who of them can say we did not try? there is no time, there is no space I have no mind for losing face no one is at fault, blame will not be cast regardless of how guilty we might feel many futures past nothing seems to last forever is the notion most unreal we could be strong enough to carry on getting better the same way we got sick all fates are sealed, th' dirty dogged deal no-one here gets away with it there is no time, there is no space I have no mind for losing face I've paid my dues I didn't come to lose dismissing ev'ry lesser victory plenty came and went some were heaven sent an' possibly meant no harm to me braver hearts will fly, whereas mine can but try to weather, come what may, rain or shine with heavy head, I put my dreams to bed and begin my freefalling decline there is no time, there is no space I have no mind for losing face no mind for losing face no mind for losing face

Thanks. It's one of a few new songs I've written. I intend to produce it with virtual instruments.
