WASHING OF THE WATER by PETER GABRIEL

 

River, river carry me on

Living river carry me on

River, river carry me on

To the place where I come from

 

So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride

If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside

 

River, show me how to float

I feel like I'm sinking down

Thought that I could get along

But here in this water

My feet won't touch the ground

I need something to turn myself around

 

Going away, away towards the sea

River deep, can you lift up and carry me

Oh roll on though the heartland

'Til the sun has left the sky

River, river carry me high

'Til the washing of the water make it all alright

Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight

 

Letting go, it's so hard

The way it's hurting now

To get this love untied

So tough to stay with thing

'Cause if I follow through

I face what I denied

I get those hooks out of me

And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side

k*ll that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide

 

River, oh river, river running deep

Bring me something that will let me get to sleep

In the washing of the water will you take it all away

Bring me something to take this pain away

una na aq..

 

Honestly

by Harem Scarem..

 

 

stand before you accused of many crimes

But I want to believe that love can still survive

You don't have to say it, I don't have to read your mind

To know that emptiness has finally arrived

How was I to know right from wrong

Words were hardly spoken, so where did I go wrong

Tell me honestly, if you're still loving me

Looking into my eyes honestly

Words have more meaning, if they're said at certain times

I need you now so I can feel alive

How would you know if you won't give me some time

To see if everything could work you'll be mine

I'll be lost forever or someday I may find

The words that I've been searching for or just some peace of mind

Chorus

All the nights I sit and wonder there must be more life

I'm sure that days and years go by while

I am living with, living with a lonely feeling

Chorus

Sad actually... Jason Michael Carroll's Alyssa Lies. Very popular country song in the U.S.

 

Here's the lyrics:

 

My little girl met a new friend,

just the other day,

on the playground at school

between the tires and the swings

 

But she came home with tear-filled eyes,

and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"

 

Well I just brushed it off at first,

cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt

or the things she had seen.

I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"

 

and she said...

 

Alyssa lies to the classroom,

Alyssa lies everyday at school,

Alyssa lies to the teachers

as she tries to cover every bruise

 

My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.

As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet

"God bless my mom and my dad

and my new friend, Alyssa

I know she needs you bad"

 

Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,

Alyssa lies everyday at school,

Alyssa lies to the teachers

as she tries to cover every bruise

 

I had the worst night of sleep in years

as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears

I knew what it was that I had to do

but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news

 

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad.

The lump in my throat grew bigger

with every question that she asked.

Until I felt the tears run down my face

and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today

 

Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom

she doesn't lie anymore at school

Alyssa lies with Jesus

because there's nothin' anyone would do.

 

Tears filled my eyes, when my little girl asked me why

Alyssa lies.

Daddy tell me why

Alyssa lies

Gloomy Sunday by Rezső Seress

 

Budapest, January 13. Rezsoe Seres, whose dirge-like song hit, "Gloomy Sunday" was blamed for touching off a wave of suicides during the nineteen-thirties, has ended his own life as a suicide it was learned today.

 

Authorities disclosed today that Mr. Seres jumped from a window of his small apartment here last Sunday, shortly after his 69th birthday. The decade of the nineteen-thirties was marked by severe economic depression and the political upheaval that was to lead to World War II. The melancholy song written by Mr. Seres, with words by his friend, Ladislas Javor, a poet, declares at its climax, "My heart and I have decided to end it all." It was blamed for a sharp increase in suicides, and Hungarian officials finally prohibited it. In America, where Paul Robeson introduced an English version, some radio stations and nightclubs forbade its performance. Mr. Seres complained that the success of "Gloomy Sunday" actually increased his unhappiness, because he knew he would never be able to write a second hit.

 

- New York Times, 1968
