It Hurts My Head           heavy blues

missed you last evening when time stands still
I turned to be with you and feel that old thrill
I felt a cold river run through my veins
my memory stirred my heart filled with pain
my eyes filled up you left me for dead
the moment was cruel weighed on me like lead
my mind set to aching in my empty bed
it hurts my head.

I bolted up frightened to escape the bad dream
I started chokin and I struggled to breathe
gasping I wondered if I could be blamed
for lovin too hard an obsession insane
I felt myself fighting a coming undone
your leave unexpected a hard hit and run
I charged you with treason I wished you were dead
it hurts my head.

here in this cold house it hardly seems fair
your voice is an echo that calls everywhere
I missed your devices I missed your designs
I saw no reason to see you unkind
you used the power of lies like a drug
you nunbed my senses and stoned me with love
there's no forgiveness I wish you were dead
it hurts my head.

saw you last evening when time stands still
somewhere your image far over a hill
there in the distance your worn battered face
a sad lonely picture full of trouble and pain
your arms strecthed out to me these times are tough
the road coming back is rocky and rough
I fight back my mercy should I leave you for dead
it hurts my head
it hurts my head
oh it hurts my head
feels heavy like lead
it hurts my head fade...............

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Eric...would be hard to live, to love, to give yourself away, without singing the blues too...that's the way of things.  Of course, most can't write the music or the song as well as you do.

(tears fall down my cheeks) I hate the feeling of standing in a lonely house, dearest friend, here's hoping now the summer has come to grace that cold river running theough and it is more like a resort to you now with love dipping toes in your creek! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

ethome - One of these days I'm going to take a trip to New Brunswick for a visit and hear some of these great songs that you write...

Perhaps we could do some of mine also...
