When I first heard Diane and Ronnie?s song I was blown away by it?s beauty. My soul cried out to me to ask them if I could sing it but I really didn?t have the nerve to ask. I did ask them if they could write a song LIKE it for me. The response from both of these wonderful people was that they would be honored to write me a song and in the meantime why don?t I record ?Broken?. Diane had always envisioned a woman singing it. I really was hoping to take this into a real studio to record but the way things are going lately, if I wait for that to happen we?ll all be too old to hear it! Diane urged me to post it the way it is so please forgive any recording quality issues this amazingly beautiful song might have. p.s Diane, thank you my forever friend for not letting the musical flame in my soul die out. **********************************

A heart left undefended
A dream condemned to die
A hope that hangs suspended
By a Judas kiss goodbye
A choice between old passion
And new love to be betrayed
A smiling sweet assassin
With a sacrificial blade
A future stolen by a lie
A truth too ruthless to deny
A hurt that can't be mended
A wound that won't be tended
A joy too quickly ended
And a vow too soon unmade
Now everything is ended
For a love that waits to fade
The ghost of gone tomorrows
Whispers sadly on the stair
In a lonely house of sorrows
Filled with echoes of despair
The lines cannot be spoken
The guitar will not strum
The strings have all been broken
When the song had just begun
No more close harmonies to share
No sweet soul music fills the air
The last word has been spoken
It's a tune no key can open
The guitar strings are broken
And the chords are all undone
Now everything is broken
Everything is broken
And the song remains unsung
