This is a very raw version of the song I did the night I wrote it
This is what I do. I can't NOT do it. I like to think it proves that South Florida can produce something besides hurricane damage and skin cancer.
Story behind the song
Motivated by my muse...who was a few hours late that day :-)
Lyrics
I’m really trying to keep the faith
I’m really trying but it gets late
I’m really trying to be strong
But the days go on so long
You know the words I cannot say
Would only serve to scare you away
Imagination was my friend
But now it tortures me again
You bring such exquisite pain
I can’t wait to feel it all again
You bring me, oh such exquisite pain
I’d do anything…
You know I crave you like the air
Can hardly breathe when you’re not there
And when you are, it’s harder still
Isn’t Fate a bitter pill?
Across the miles and over time
I try to reach and make you mine
And hold you close and pull you down
And into me, and all around
You bring such exquisite pain
I can’t wait to feel it all again
You bring me, oh such exquisite pain
I’d do anything…I’d do anything…
I watch the shadows turn to night
I watch the darkness yield to light
I feel the loss of all control
Feel the surrender of my soul
You bring such exquisite pain
I can’t wait to feel it all again
You bring me, oh such exquisite pain
I’d do anything…
You bring such exquisite pain
I can’t wait to feel it all again
You bring me, oh such exquisite pain
I’d do anything… I’d do anything…
I’d do anything…
