Written with Meat Loaf in mind, as an album closer. I think everyone has regrets, no matter what some people say.
Music is of course by Jim and my favourite melody (of his).
Regrets (Lyrics © David J Smith 2007)
In the still of the night, you will hear my heart crying
For a love, that’s long gone
After so many years, she is always in my dreams
I can’t erase, can’t forget
Take me back, to the start
To a time when ev’rything was so brand new, and golden
How I hate, here & now
For my body has grown old, and tired and broken
All these damn memories, are so cruel and relentless
They’ll just haunt, forever
How they twist & they turn, how they tease & then deny
They’ll always burn, endlessly
Take me back, to the start
Let me banish all this heartache, wipe away, all these tears
God I hate, here & now
So much emptiness torments me, there’s no hope, only fears
Am I cursed, for all time, am I cursed to live alone
Until the day, that I die
For I’ll never forget, and as long as I remember
I can never move on
Take me back, to the start
Far away & long ago is all I yearn, for today
God I hate, here & now
There is nothing but a future, yet I crave, yesterday
There’s nothing left here
My heart is empty
So many regrets
