One of the 6 songs on this evolving Ep that was stuck in the writing process. Between song one and two I caught a nasty cold and lost my voice (my singing voice for 4 - 5 weeks). I'm quite aware of the limitations of my vocals, but right now it's still not fully back.
That said, I charged on last week (early Oct.), moved by the proceedings south of the Canadian border. Really just a reflection of what is going on in our own country - or are we a reflection. OK, I don't know who's reflecting who. Doesn't matter... or does it?
lyrics
Love Letters
(M. Girio/ M. Gasselsdorfer)
You’re bullying the witness
With threats and sickness
For taking far too long
They’re confessions of the weak
Who try to speak
Of rights that have been wronged
If love letters fall out of the sky
Just like tear drops from our eyes
Would you tease us till we feel the shame
True love only lasts until the next rain
So I will promise
That I will always stay the same
The truth never follows
The lies that we swallow
But still we choke ‘em down
With the slings and arrows
That bleed all the marrow
Till our voices make no sound
If love letters fall out of the sky
Just like tear drops from our eyes
Would you tease us till we feel the shame
True love only lasts until the next rain
So I will promise
That I will always stay the same
There you stand above us all
So real and so corrupt
Araid the world will turn against
The place you love so much
The cuts and bruises
That go to the losers
To the ones who never quit
We’re kicked down broken
For the words we’ve spoken
For taking your bullshit
If love letters fall out of the sky
Just like tear drops from our eyes
Would you tease us till we feel the shame
True love only lasts until the next rain
So I will promise
That I will always stay the same
I will promise
That I will always stay the same
I will promise
That I will always stay the same
