Song Story:  THE  LYRICS: Actually not a house mortgage but calculating how to pay off a loan for a van was the inspiration of this song. But the concept struck me as a wonderful parable, with so many people losing jobs or otherwise having a harder time making a living these days.

LYRICS    4/4  time.  (2 measures per line; some syllables join for 1 count)

was a mortgage _   /  on my soul  (_ its)

How (can we) (ever) find / joy in life __
