out of love

I wrote this lyric back in 2001 for a good friend of mine at the time, who had just split up with his girlfriend. I felt for him, as I knew he had spent a lot of time and effort on this girl, yet it was all in vain as he was now "out of love." I played it to him once, just after the break up. As life takes us in different ways, I sadly have only seen him twice in the last 6 years, however one of these was in the Errigle Inn in Belfast for his 30th birthday. Bob, its for you...

Written - Late 2001

Lyrics -

You've fallen down a waterfall
I don't know what you dream
You make me laugh you make me cry
Someone else might scream

You poured your heart out to a girl who couldn't fill your heart
You took her to the end of time; she left you at the start

You've fallen in and out of love
Too much was not enough

I bet it broke your heart my friend
I bet it cut you deep
You spent your awake on someone else's sleep

You stalled your dreams all for this girl who couldn't fulfill your dreams
You took her to the end of time; she left you at the start

You've fallen in and out of love
Too much was not enough

You spent your lifetime
You were someone else's lifeline
You spent time that wasn't yours
On time forever hers

And in
And out of love
And in
And out of love
Too much was not enough

You've fallen down a waterfall
I don't know what you dream
