Ron Gough songs
Broken (w/Beeswing)
This was a lyric Diane had written a while ago.
It has been covered before but when I read it on her page I fell in love with it and asked if I could interpret another melody.
It's a stunning lyric.
The joy and inspiration of working with this particular lyric was knowing it was precious to her.
Diane, once again....... thank you.

Broken
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
chorus
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
chorus
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
