Subject: Lyr Add: MATTHEW (Johnny McEvoy) From: Marion in Cornwall Date: 16 Feb 07 - 10:36 AM MATTHEW Johnny McEvoy What are you thinking of Matthew my friend As you sit in your room all alone You can see the bright lights in the city below In the place where you once called your home And I'm sure you can still hear the laughter and noise Of your kids as they run and they play And you thought you were doing the best that you could But it just didn't work out that way Chorus: Just didn't work out, just didn't work out Just didn't work out that way You thought you were doing the best that you could But it just didn't work out that way And your mother's long gone and your father is too There's times you wish you were dead And this morning the nurse took your whiskey away When she said you're not right in the head And when your wife calls you can't think of her name And her visits get shorter each day And you wish in your heart you could walk out that door But it just didn't work out that way I can see you've been thinking again of the past And the place where the tall cedar grows You remember the evening you planted that tree But I'm sure that nobody else does And it grew to the sky as the years drifted by And I'm sure it's still standing today But Matthew it's somebody else's tree now Cause it just didn't work out that way So close your eyes Matthew say goodnight to the world There's a better one waiting for you Your time here is over its time to move on There's nothing here left you can do But you could have moved mountains and danced on the moon You could have turned night into day And you thought you were doing the best that you could But it just didn't work out that way Chorus |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Matthew by Johnny McEvoy From: Shaneo Date: 16 Feb 07 - 11:18 AM Great song tribute to Johnny's mother who was dying of alzheimer's and this was Johnny's way of dealing with the death of his mother. Johnny is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. He still suffers from depression and I sometimes think thats what makes him such a fine songwriter ,he enters a part of the brain not frequented by people who dont suffer from depression and comes out with some lovley slow , sad songs. |
