Born to Live - Marianne Faithfull

Born to live and born to die

Aren’t they just the same?

We’re always breaking someone’s heart

Especially our own

Life goes on its joyful way

As usual nothing’s as it seems

But to die a good death is my dream

And I wish it for all, for all I know and love

Deep down below and high above

We’re born to die, no one to blame

We’re born to love, we’re all the same

Blues stay away, stay away from me

I hate to lose old friends

Blues are my enemy, but love gets me through

Born to live and die

Forever loving you

Don’t make me cry, know what I must do

Pray for a good death, one for me, one for you

And I wish it for all, for all I know and love

Deep down below and high above

We’re born to die, no one to blame

We’re born to love, we’re all the same
