Written by Bob Welch. For a little peace in any season I'd give up anything but your love I don't want to trade, tryin' to be happy That's only playin' anyway But if I dream about it, it makes me wonder For every good thing, must you get bad But I won't worry, and if I'm living on borrowed time I'm gonna keep on the way I'm going For every crime, there's retribution And every vally has a mountainside No, I don't like to trade just to be happy That kind of deal won't turn out right See it ain't good to stare inside yourself too long For every true thing theree's one more lie But I won't worry 'cause if I'm living on borrowed time I'll just try to keep on the way I'm going
