Post your favourite song lyrics

[Deepest Blue]

Inspired by drummermike's song lyric thread of his own, post your favourite song lyrics here, they can be anything and perhaps can be a reflection of how you're feeling at the time.

I'll start:

A verse from a Genesis song called "Domino"

"Rain keeps running down the window pane
Time keeps running out for me
Can't you see what you are doing to me
Can't you see what you have done
As I try to pass another long and sleepless night
As a hundred crazy voices call my name
As I try to pass them by
I almost can believe that she is here
Here in the glow of the night"

[xBettyBoopx]

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far,
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause.

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

[Deepest Blue]

"...I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late"

[Deepest Blue]

i've been broken
words unspoken
between a recent page of my life
wounds open
just soaking in
the rays of a starry, starry night

you're smiling
while wiping my tears
a kiss away, they flow to the past
just in time
worlds collide
a moment defined for you

i take one step closer
so i can see that
familiar sweet gaze in your eyes
a flood of memories pull me in
like a lullaby

[Bill]

I can't type these words at mo because they'll start me off again!

But to all those who I know and care about who are suffering themselves or due to sadness in their lives, this is for them....

I cant do this by myself
and i cant be somebody else
...all of these problems their all in your head
you took something perfect and painted it red.

[freudian nightmare]

not song lyrics but a poem i like by thomas hardy


oh life with the sad seared face
i weary of seeing thee
and thy draggled cloak and thy hobbling pace
and thy too forced pleasantry!

I know what thou wouldst tell
of death,time,destiny
I have known it long and known too well
What it all means for me

But can thou not array
Thyself in rare disguise
And feign like truth for one mad day
That earth is paradise?

I'll tune me to the mood
And mumm with thee till eve
And maybe what as interlude
I feign, i shall believe!

[Wolfie]

I know you have a little life left in you yet
I know you have a lot of strength left
I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I just can't stop thinking

[percythetrain]

I love this song. I was just reminded of it by another thread

It also describes it so well when someone's in a bad relationship, at least if you got no self esteem

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert

Now I know I'm being used
That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay 'cause I got no self esteem

We make plans to go out at night
I wait 'til 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score

Now I know I should say "No"
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well, I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah

[ricardo]

"The Long And Winding Road"

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before it always leads me here
Leads me to your door

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way
Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door

But still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here (Don't keep me wait), lead me to you door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


I like sad songs but this is just a personal memory.
