Cross Of Broken Dreams

[Barbaria1]

Cross of Broken Dreams

As I hang on my cross of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is but just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion

What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
Nothing left but to writhe and squirm
Wrists cruelly nailed to patibulum firm

Maybe

Crosses of death stand all around
their naked victims make but little sound
My heartache grows ever stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer

I look up to the sky, searching for light
Cold and forlorn, no comfort in sight
Nailed to the wood and goin' nowhere
I hope and pray for someone to care

What becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know my soul will be lost today
Life and happiness will just drift away

Help me, please

I'm searching though I don't succeed
For someone's love there's an aching need
But the end is near, every labored breath painful
As I search in vain for anything meaningful

Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed
I know I've been condemned to die
If only someone could tell me why

Now what becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me
What becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me, tell me

What becomes of the broken-hearted
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oooh...
The broken-hearted
Now departed

... Bof, not my "cup of tea" ... Soul music is only good to make "pleurer dans les chaumières" ( crying in the cottages ? )
...but it's only my opinion ; if some people like .....

Oh Yupar, her tear drop and its moist track just captures this perfectly.

[LittleSiss]

Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere


Truly fantastic, Barb!!!!!!!

If I was Jimmy Ruffin I'd be honored.... clever play on 'departed' at the end.

This REALLY captures the helpless fear, raw emotion, and hopeless despair of the cross. It is a truly amazing piece of work and I loved it, Barb.

I know I've been condemned to die
If only someone could tell me why....................

Sigh!........you ought to know by now B! ....it's your destiny....to die over and over on the cross, until the end of times,
for the entertainment of us crux perverts......

Thanks xso, and nice pic!!

 

[Hangnail]

only good to make "pleurer dans les chaumières" ( crying in the cottages ? )

In English one would say it is "sentimental" or "mawkish". One similar idiom is calling something "a tear-jerker".

That might be a bit simplistic. R&B is a major musical tradition with a deep past and a variety of styles and forms that emerged over time. Just saying.

Thanks , I've learned something ...

Possible, Barb, but you know well that in music, you can like or not ; I'm persuaded that if you could listen to some songs that I like, you could be not obliged to like them ...
It's often a question of feelings ...
A major musical tradition dont imply that everybody like it ...
But if we cant give our opinion here, I'll avoid for the future ...

Indifference or obligations are not always a center point ... but a taunt that is placed to turn heads and stir a simple cup of tea ... when the scones have dried and the double cream will not sweeten them.

I simply hum a tune.
