Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of Faroe
Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?
All colors bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,
What would be true?
Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
What would it mean to say,
"I loved you in my fashion"?
What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?

I like this song, too.
ReplyDeleteOne of the many oldies that I love. Tell you what, my deep contempt for pop, newer musics has made my relationship with the Top 40 gone down the toilet :-)
What do you think of In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins?
Sting is such an artist, he can make his words sing without a song. They don't make songs like this one no more.
ReplyDeleteBang Phil is a genius, wicked drums playing... while singing too. It's hard I tell you. I know, I've tried.
That song is just one of a kind! I remember that cadbury ad with a gorilla playing the drums of that song. That was cool! :)
