Subject: BS: wrote this for a friend
Well...I wrote this for a friend...who's brother was killed in Bali...and well i was wondering what you all thought before i sent it to her...
Memories Stay (title not in stone as yet) (tune: Water is Wide)
There is a candle it burns right well Shining bright in my heart it dwells But the wind it came strong and stout And blew that bright burning candle out
Oh, he was staying there in Bali Town When the bombs blew the hotel down And the blast shook me to the bone For now he'll never be coming home
I see him coming through the door I hear his steps stomp across the floor I hear his voice whisper soft and clear As my fingers feel my hot wet tears
In the window a candle burns bright Calling him home in the dark night The pain it fades as the years go by But the memories stay in my heart nearby
