I was looking for something else on a hard-drive which I’d used to back up a lot of stuff some years ago, and came across this. I wrote it in 2006, after which it spent a while, unfinished, in my PLR. I was tempted to make several changes, but in the end, just re-recorded the vocal, and here it is, seven years on ………
Too Many Things
Too many things left unsaid
Too many nights alone in bed
Too many hungers left unfed
Too many things left unsaid
We’ve spent our lives holding all this stuff in – til now
We’ve lost track of where we should’ve been – til now
Let’s make a point of saying “Stop right here”
Take stock of what we’ve got and make these things clear.
Too many things left unsaid
Too many nights alone in bed
Too many words from which we’ve fled
Too many things left unsaid
We should know the tracks of each other’s hearts - by now
But we go and pull ourselves apart – and how
Chances if life don’t come around this much
Take hold my hand and let our troubled hearts touch
Too many things left unsaid
Too many nights alone in bed
Too many questions in my head
Too many things left unsaid
Too many things left unsaid
Too many nights alone in bed
Too many hungers left unfed
Too many things left unsaid
We once had a passion oh so strong – and then
Life took hold, and now we don’t belong – so when
This chance presents itself to start again
Let’s try it one more time without the pain
