Nothing Lasts
If one could
Stop time, or make it up
If two could realize the best of luck
If I could locate a god above
And you only wanted to be loved
Then I’d try to hang on to the past
But you know that nothing, oh no nothing lasts
Nothing lasts …..It’s time to
Move on, let the past go
I waited for you here, but you never showed
Although I asked you to let me know
I only felt a cold wind blow
While I tried to hang on to the past
But you know that nothing, oh no nothing lasts
Nothing’s in your way
Now you can stand right up and run
Wouldn’t even change things
If you took back what you’ve done
I have tried to hang on to the past
But I couldn’t keep my grasp, cause nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
Nothing lasts
Thought I Knew You
I thought I knew you
I was in for a surprise
I let my love flow
From my heart into your eyes
And then I found out
That there was nothing I could know or guess about you
You’d go as far as you could go
And it took me years to figure out
That there was nothing I could give to you
And years to figure out
That there was nothing you would take from me
And how can I describe
The way you slowly took my hope away
And all of the time
I thought I knew you
Don’t Go
Don’t Go Don’t let my love drive you away
There is so much I have left to say
Oh don’t go Don’t bring my darkness to the day
There is so much I have left to say
Oh don’t go
There is so much I have left to say
Come back You know I wrote another song
They keep telling me the past is gone
But it looks like My evil deeds are coming ’round
I can’t watch them put you in the ground
Oh don’t go
You Don’t Love Me
What a beautiful moment
The truth comes out at last
Once your heart would own me forever
Then this passed
And what a beautiful moment
As my heard comes apart
Drunk and in a manner of saying, wasted
‘Cause you don’t love me
You don’t love me
You can’t see how I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can’t believe that
If you find something
You think might make you happy
Then I guess it’s okay, I think it’s okay
If you go away
Blown right out of my senses
I did not know what to do
Lost and badly wanting someone
To see me through
That’s why I needed you
But you don’t love me, you don’t love me
You can’t see how I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can’t believe that
You think that leaving
Is what will make you happy
Then I guess it’s okay, I think it’s okay
If you go away
‘Cause you don’t love me
You don’t love me
You can’t see how I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can’t believe that
You think that leaving
Is what will make you happy
Then I guess it’s okay, I think it’s okay
If you go away
‘Cause you don’t love me
You don’t love me…
Holy War
I’ve spent twenty years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives
But I do not want a war
‘Cause I’m not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there’s a god who would understand
Feeding the promised land
With your blood by my own hand
At Allah’s own command
At Allah’s own command
I’ve spent twenty years learning to live
In a world that takes back all that it gives
But I do not want a war
I don’t know what’s going on
In the scenes behind
I worry about it some of the time
And I hope there’s not a war
‘Cause I’m not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there’s a god who would understand
And I would walk across highways
To find my fate
If that might settle your crude debate
But I do not want a war
‘Cause I’m not in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there’s a god who would understand
Feeding the promised land
With your blood by my own hand
At allah’s own command
At allah’s own command
I came up from the desert and here I will die
Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye
Though I didn’t want a war
I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there’s a god who would understand
As if there’s a god who would understand
I went in for killing another man
Defending my holy land
As if there’s a god who would understand
As if there’s a god who would understand
Oh yeah…

It wasn’t really a concept album, persay. He had just ended a marriage and started a new relationship, so there was a mix of dispair and new hope. It’s a brilliant album, and considered by many to be the best pop album of the 90’s.
You must hear it sometime. Perhaps I’ll mail you some CD’s once I’m finished doing the work I am.
I waaaaaaant to though. I love sharing music, of course, and perhaps I could send you a book.
Bah, that can’t be true.
I had this long well written our post but it got deleted. 🙁 I am too tired now to rewrite all of it. I will comment more tomorrow.
I care about you very much. You’ve always been there for me. I am so thankful for all the time you’ve given me, and the things you’ve done. You are an amazing person. I love you, my beautiful redhead. What we had was wonderful, and I will always cherish it.
I hope I can still visit you someday this year. I want to be your friend. I realize that is all we can be now. I know this is hard for you as it is for me. I never want to hurt you, and to know that this has hurt you a great deal I feel awfully guilty. I love you so much, Apollo. Being with you was the most incredible experience I’v ever had in my life and I will always remember what it was like to kiss you and hold you close.
This hurts so much. I am sorry for the pain I caused. I wish I could be good enough for you. I wish it didn’t have to be like this. I didn’t want to be, but there is nothing I can do. I hope you realize this.
I love you. I always will. Always.
*out
You always were good enough for me, until you changed so much and betrayed me. I hope you’ll someday be able to heal yourself from all you’ve destroyed.
Bah and double bah! 😉
