Song Lyrics from 1973/ Life's A Struggle

Let the embers on the fire slowly burn their life away
I continue, with what I'm doing, never reaching, what I wanted to.
Life is full of its moments
And even the chance of losing you.

Life's a struggle,
It can make you
Or break you
It can keep a good man up
Or bring him down.

Let the embers on the fire slowly burn their life away
I still live with all I'm feeling, never sure, what I ought to do.
Life is full of its miseries
And now, my darling, I'm losing you.

Life's a struggle
It can make you
Or break you
It can keep a good man up
Or bring him down.

So let the embers on the fire slowly burn their life away
I'm so damned tired of always doing, these things you've asked of me.
Live your life the way you want to.
Keep your mind closed to what is truthful
In my heart you'll always hold a place,
But
For the rest of my life
I don't want to see your face...

Life's a struggle
It can make you
Or break you
It can keep a good man up
Or bring him down...

So let the embers on the fire....
Let the embers on the fire...
The embers on the fire....
