Jesse Winchester - Loose Talk Lyrics

So long we've been married, life's burdens we carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we make up, someone seems to break up
Oh, darlin', what else can we do?

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

When I go out walkin', there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy, and we'll break apart
But darlin' it's not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
For I know you love me And happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

They say you are leavin' that you are deceivin'
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them they're wrong
That loose talk can do harm
And hope that the truth they will see

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

If some folks would leave us
I wish they would leave us
If only they'd leave us alone
