From the recording Shades of Crystal

Lyrics

Livin' In These Troubled Times

It takes all the faith that's in you
Takes your heart         and it takes mine
It takes love        to be forgiven
Livun’ in--   these troubled times

When it rains on the rain
And it snows      in the Spring
You're reminded   again
It's just a march   of the dimes
Livun’ in   these troubled times

Brings you down            to buy a paper
If you read                   between the lines
No one seems     to have the answer
To livun’ in          these troubled times
Still you try and you try
And you do   what you   must do
It's a march of the dimes
Livun’ in   these troubled times
And lovin’ in      these troubled times

It takes a man     it takes a woman
It took your heart         and it took mine
It takes love        to be forgiven
Livun’ in--   these troubled times
(ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
It's a march of the dimes
Livun’ in   these troubled times
And lovin’ in      these troubled times
(instrumental then fade out)
