The Shadows On My Past

The shadows of my past spread out
Down the corridors of time

They show me a trail of broken hearts
More than a few of them are mine

All the beautiful ladies

That | loved with all my might

Are nothing more than shadows

In the cold dark lonely night

You'd think that I'd be wiser now
Thanks to all of my past sins

You'd think that | would find a way

To finally let love in

It’s caused me a lot of sleepless nights
And more heartache than | can take
But the shadows of my past, you know .
They won’t give me a break

The shadows of my past reveal
Just what a fool I've been

Lettin’ love slip through my hands
So many times it’s just a sin

And | am but a poor sinner now
with little of love to show

But the shadows of my past

That follow everywhere | go

But | know one of these fine days
I’ll find a love that’s real

A soul that’s pure, a heart that’s true

And loving hand to heal

And the time worn scars so deep and long
On my heart will mend at last

And | finally will be set free \
From the shadows of my past

My Love For Fridays Goes Back A Long Way

"Crimson flames tied through my ears · Rollin’ high and mighty traps · Pounced with fire on flaming roads · Using ideas as my maps · “We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I · Proud ‘neath heated brow · Ah, but I was so much older then · I’m younger than that now ·                     ...

The Love of Something

10CC is the first band whose records I purchased back in the day when cassettes were the primary form of bootleg and they wrote what I still consider to be one of the finest love songs in "I'm not in Love" - because it continues to say something about love which any sentient bein ...

A Love Story (Love in the Age of Writing, Publishing and Grammarian Lust)

This won’t be sentimental as such. I’ve read enough sentiment to realize love stories are like love songs. They have a beginning and an end. Paul McCartney doesn’t like them to have an end, but he’s willing to admit his are “silly.” That’s probably why John Lennon said Paul “ ...
