lyrics

Unencumbered by Love
© 2003, Sue Fink

[Chorus]
Unencumbered by love
Unencumbered by love
Like a star twinkling bright
In the long, restless night

Like a cloud drifting by
A balloon in the sky
Floating high, way above
Unencumbered by love

He’s known her all his life
First childhood friend, then wife
Their love a solid ground
On which he made his home

But after all these years
She grew sick, he shed tears
Now she’s gone, he’s left un-
tethered, alone

[Chorus]

She raised those kids from wild seeds
No time to care for her needs
No husband, no help
They inhaled all her air

Now grown, her kids live far away
They come back once a year in May
She’s free to live her own life
– No one will care

Unencumbered by love….

So much joy, so many tears
This anger, those silly fears
Love drags down, love anchors,
Chooses earth as home

When love goes, the anchors lift
Feather-light through life we drift
The night sky, we float by
So many, so alone

[Chorus]

Her genre, “urban campfire cabaret,” is folk with a hint of jazz, a large dollop of humor, and a drop of sadness for good measure: think Christine Lavin, with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones, Melanie, and Nellie McKay. ... more
