The very sad Tears in Heaven written by Eric Clapton after tragic death of his little boy.
I see my folks, they're getting old,
I watch their bodies change....
I know they see the same in me,
and it makes us both feel strange...
No matter how you tell yourself,
it's what we all go through...
Those eyes are pretty hard to take
when they're staring back at you
Scared, scared you'll run out of time

Maybe I should have started with verse #1
A friend of mine she cries at night
and she calls me on the phone
See babies everywhere she goes
and she wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
and still he can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose
and it tears her up inside
She is scared, scared she'll run out of time

the red flame, bonnie rait, the nick of time, i believe.......
In the heat of the river
In the heat of the morning sun
I saw rose
Out on the river
Staring down the city guns
She said
I am the one
I am the champion
Protector
Leader
Defender
Optimum champion
She said
I am the one
I am the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I’ll be your champion

"Champion" - Jefferson Starship
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Good job on the last one!
This is one I don't have to look up!
Imagine -John Lennon
How many of you people out there
been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times did you swear that you'd never love again?
How many lonely sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
And why would you want to put yourself through all of that again?
'Love is pain' I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way
of paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain

It's "Brand new day" from Sting, isn't it?
By the stories that were told
I decided to reject the bold
embrace the cowardly and the weak
we had laughs that lasted weeks
they're inside and I sing here

No Danger by the Delgados
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place

We will Rock You (Queen)
I was so high I did not recognize
the fire burning in her eyes
the chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
never to return again
but always in my heart

Okay, okay, already!!! This Love by Maroon 5 (confession - I've never heard of it. I cheated!  ) "Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game and pretend. But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me." |

Homeward Bound (Paul Simon)
(This song starts out with nice acoustic guitar that
reminds me of the song in Uncorked somehow)
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, there's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why
I say goodbye...

Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik
"Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he dont get far
And his mama cries"

In the Ghetto- Elvis Presley
Baby I got your number and I know that you got mine
But you know that I called you, I called too many times
You can call me baby, you can call me anytime
But you got to call me
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
But Im too old to go chasing you around
Wasting my precious energy
