LYRIC FOR SALE

By David North

Like the wind that blows through every valley
And makes your heart grow cold
As I sit here and put my pen to paper
Right now I’m feeling old.
And I want to say I’m sorry
For all those moments way back when
You wondered if I loved you
And would I say it ever again?

And I meant to love, I meant to love
I meant to say it all,
I picked up the phone so many times
But I never made the call.

The sound of a beating heart
It makes the world go round and round
But the sound of a heart that’s breaking
Echoes deeply underground.
I can’t forget your face
And the hurt behind your eyes
And the way you looked so anxious
As you waited my reply.

And I meant to love, I meant to love
I tried to say the words
Of some great mystery in my heart
Like a song you never heard.

And now I’m all alone
And boy, do I feel that regret
Cos now I’m done a-wandering
And my life is done and said.
I thought I had such special times
With no-one by my side
But now I find those moments
Washed away with the ebbing tide.

And I meant to love, I meant to love
I meant to say it all.
I meant to trust you with my heart
I was afraid I’d be a fool.
And I watched you love, I watched you love
I watched you drift away
And build a shield around your heart
To save it for another day.
And I tried to love, I tried to love
I tried to write a song
But writing was never my big thing
And the words just came out wrong.
And I meant to love, I meant to love
I meant to meant to love.
And I meant to love, I meant to love
I really meant to love.
