I totally forgot about the first verse. When I was trying to find the words to this song, the second verse was where it started.
Quote: But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooo Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine Body's aching all the time Goodbye everybody - I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows) I don't want to die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah Nothing really matters Anyone can see Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me
This is H and his life. Gave up college and football scholarship because his parents just didn't care what he did or encourage him enough, he was great QB in HS--some really big schools wanted him, joined the service, married HS sweetheart, divorced, rebound and married again to a very demanding OW, divorced and rebouded to me. Works construction which is destroying his body and he's approaching the Big 5-0.
Quote: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see
And me--the above says it all, it was a fantasy life until the landslide, now it's all reality. I am trying to climb out of the muck and I think I'll make it because I am looking upward and moving onward.
