Or how beautiful music can be
Important: After John-boy's dramatic message of today I wanted to put these two songs on the forum for him to comfort him a bit. The texts are related to his message. Sorry, but I couldn't find a link for the second song.

GERRY RAFFERTY
Don't Speak Of My Heart
From The Album "On A Wing And A Prayer" (1992)
Don't speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- hurts to touch
I'm writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I've been running on empty since you went away
The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that we're apart
So please don't speak of my heart
Whenever we talk she says hang on -- just hang on
Meanwhile i'm drowning in the pouring rain
And each time we meet there's a sad farewell -- sad farewell
She tells me someday i'm gonna love again
The way that she walked out on me
Still tears me apart
So please don't speak of my heart
Every day's an endless maze of dreams that fade and die
No one believed we were saying 'goodbye'
And every night I think of you i'm still left wondering why
I can't believe that we're saying goodbye
And when I wake up in the morning
And wonder where i'm going to
It all came without a warning
What's a man supposed to do?
Don't let your heart break down
Don't let your heart break down
Don't speak of my heart, it hurts too much -- it hurts to touch
I'm writing the book each and every day
Take a look at my face, I still need -- I still bleed
I've been running on empty since you went away
The spirit world looks down on us
Sad that we're apart
Don't wanna talk about it -- don't make me think about it
So please don't speak of my heart
GERRY RAFFERTY
Don't Give Up On Me
From The Album "On A Wing And A Prayer" (1992)
Ev'ry night's a lonely night since you went away
But you come back to haunt my memory
I lie awake and think of you and how it used to be
Oh my love don't give up on me
The symbol of the moon above and living without you
I can't stand this cold reality
You alone can make me whole, our love was meant to be
Oh my love don't give up on me
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
All these things brought me misery
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
Oh my love don't give up on me
When you left I know I lost the better part of me
But I can't blame my troubled history
You and I were innocent, our love was meant to be
Oh my love don't give up on me
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
All these things brought me misery
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
Oh my love don't give up on me
Jesus came into this world so all men may be found
In the soul of all humanity
Ev'ry time I stumble on the road to calvary
Oh my love don't give up on me
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
All these things brought me misery
In the dying embers of the midnight hour
Oh my love don't give up on me
Oh my love don't give up on me
My sweet lord don't give up on me
