Verse One: I have faith One day I will hope To be able to love again. Faith, hope, love But the greatest of these Is only a mem'ry To a heart that is torn And the long-stemmed rose Has pricked me with thorns. I look down from the wall And I watch myself fall Chorus: The longest way to any point Is walking a straight line And the widest river I have to cross Is the fall of a teardrop And the greatest of these What I can't forget Is only a memory To me. Verse Two: This faith I have I need To be able to live each day Faith, have, need And the greatest of these Is only a mem'ry To a promise that's broken And the band I wear Has choked me with hope I look up from this hole How I wish I was whole . . . Chorus: The longest way to any point Is walking a straight line And the widest river I have to cross Is the fall of a teardrop And the greatest of these What I can't forget . . . Bridge: Drop it, it breaks Spill it, it splatters Love it, it hates Kill it, it shatters Chorus: The longest way to any point Is walking a straight line And the widest river I have to cross Is the fall of a teardrop And the greatest of these What I can't forget . . . End Chorus: What I can't forget (the longest) Is only a memory (the widest) I can't forget this memory (the greatest) Is only a memory To me. "Well she wants to live her life, then she thinks about her life... Pulls her hair back as she screams, I don't really want to live this life!" -Train "Meet Virginia" |

Wow...that's just amazing. The whole second verse with the contradictions just blew me away...great job! "If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." --Kingsley Amis |

Thanks both of you. I have to admit, though, that this is one of my least favorites. It seems really cheesy to me. (I'm a dork, though.) -wen "Well she wants to live her life, then she thinks about her life... Pulls her hair back as she screams, I don't really want to live this life!" -Train "Meet Virginia" |
