Song 23
A love ends, a new one begins. Between these two events can seem a long time. This is a song about both loss and hope.
Life inspired this song. 1981 or so.
Three months ago, how could we know that things would be this way,this way
And then I turned around, your body soft and warm that once beside me lay
Was gone, oh so gone
But life so cruel can be so kind, and endings beget beginnings
Endings are not the end
I often felt you thought the room was much too small
But then you left without a word, without a word
And tonight I sleep alone, the room so dark,so cold
They say tomorrow sun will shine, but I don’t know, no I
don’t know
And love’s not a thing forever, bitter and sweet forever
One cannot be without the other
The other side of our treasure’s now
A bit of hope and then hope gone, a cloudless sky and then a cloud
But life so cruel can be so kind, and endings beget beginnings
Endings are not the end
Oh three months ago, how could we know that things would be this way,
this way
In a dream I turned around, your body soft and warm again beside me lay
But now it’s gone, oh so gone….
