Clouds are rollin', 'nother rainy day
all the world is bathed in blue and gray
brand new rivers on the map of my face
and all I know is of a heart that breaks
Nights are long and distance grew
empty pictures you never drew
but wishing things don't always make 'em true
you found a loneliness you never knew
but she don't want to talk about it
she can't live without him
can't stop throwing all her love away
Along the way you'll find some broken dreams
the World is cruel, the World is mean
and the best laid plans always turn to schemes
'cause Love is never, ever what it seems
but she don't want to talk about it
she can't live without him
can't stop throwing all her love away
So many things that we can't understand
so many things we can never plan
but before you turn, look where you stand
and all you gotta do is take my hand
but she don't want to talk about it
she can't live without him
can't stop throwing all her love away
used to gig with my pal Cole Stanfield. This song comes from one Cole wrote and we used to play. I started riffing on it one day and I didn't know any of the words except the parts I had sung harmony on. So this is my re-imagining into a soul ballad.
Wow, Brian....thank you for sharing this!
