Ah, I've been listening to my old Bread albums today (all you Brokie's of
a certain age will remember Bread...
), and practically every song was making me think about Ennis. For example...
'Everything I Own' by Bread.You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.
You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way,
And I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that cant let go.
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
Is there someone you know,
Youre loving them so,
But taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And they dont hear the words you long to say
I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.
'Sweet Surrender' by Bread.Baby Im through runnin its true
Id be a fool to try to escape you
Maybe Im beat but oh what a sweet surrender
You keep your rights, Ill take your nights
No one can lose when we turn the lights out
Tastin defeat, lovin that sweet surrender
Im givin up myself to you but I didnt really lose at all
I gave the only love Ive known and it never hurt me to fall
Now that its done, so glad you won
I know our lives have only begun now
No more retreat, only my sweet surrender
'He's a Good Lad' by Bread.Hes a good lad
A little bit shy so youll try and have to understand
Such a good lad
And just for a while the guyll need a helping hand
His word are hard to follow, but his heart has found a way
To show you the things that he never could say;
Hes a good lad
A little bit wild but his style is really gentle and kind
He aint so bad
Right to the end hes a friend, about the best you can find
And as you come to know him, and his needs are comin through
Youll flash on the day I was talkin to you.
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
Hes a good lad
And if you come to want him, like I know he wants you to
Youll see all the things I was sayin are true
And he needs somebody to love
Yes he needs somebody to be worthy of -
Hes a good lad.
'This Year's Love' by David Gray.This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long
But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on
Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
If you love me got to know for sure
Cos it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
And when you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
This years love had better last
So whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't you know this life goes on
And won't you kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet
This years love had better last
