Dont you go crying

Awakened by a telephone
Must be 4am
A voice cries out in anguish
No road to carry on
Must have tunnel vision
In this world of monochrome
Things can seem so hopeless
Before the light of dawn

But dont you go crying
For the days that are gone
Dont you go trying
To go back there again
Just keep on walking
In the path that is true
Dont you go crying
For the days that are gone

The last thing that you want to hear
Is time will heal your hurt
Oh please dont say I told you so
Cos it makes the wound smart worse
A head thats full of shattered dreams
You know it feels like broken glass
Searchin now for somethin more
A feeling that will last

So dont you go crying
For the days that are gone
And dont you go trying
To go back there again
Just keep on walking
In the path that is true
Dont you go crying, crying
For the days that are gone


Les Magee

Dont you go crying by

This work is really the lyrics for my latest song. Influenced by a phonecall from a friend, devistated by a long term relationship break- up. I suppose we always pine for what we had- and even seduce ourselves into thinking if was a fantastic place to be, even when it caused a lot of pain!!
Words are really self explanatory and I bet we’ve all been there. The “path that is true”
refers to the path laid out for us by God- always the safest and most peaceful place to be!
