My brother prematurely lost his wife and I tried to reflect his feelings at the time.

The Bleeding of my Heart

Verse 1
I play the music but my house sounds of emptiness
The fire rages but I feel cold
Since you have gone then so has my happiness
I have been left with no-one to hold
Stranded like a fish out of water
Every second my life’s getting shorter

Chorus
Roses in bloom, sun in the sky
A glass of red, red wine
And the cooing of love birds still thrills me
When you left it tore me apart
And the grapes rot on the vine
But the bleeding of my heart won’t kill me.


Verse 2
I walk the streets but the crowds don’t notice me
They are too busy with their own lives
Could I have chosen my own misery
I would be cut by a thousand knives
Stranded like a fish out of water
Every second my lifes getting shorter

Chorus


Bridge
Somehow I must get through this
Find my future in the mist
So my darling I send you my last kiss

Chorus
