Swan Song ................. By: MichaelSalyers

Young men and young women .
There is nothing wrong with living .
Just make some time .
And hear what I have to say .
Make sure forever is in sight .
When your alone in the dark of night .
Because it's not right to have a child .
If the baby can't have you both to raise .
I am not trying to be self righteous .
I have just been down that road befor .
Because , they are the only ones who will love you .
And they'll never leave you in the storm ....

I have a song behind me .
I can't seem to let it be .
I guess I wrote it then .
For this here and now .
I can pick but , I won't choose .
Sunny days seem to bring the blues .
At least for me they do .
But , I'm going to let it go now ....
I saw a crow come through my window .
He landed in my bed .
He took a look and , I swear he smiled at me .
As if to lay me down with the dead ....

Love was more than worth making .
Holding her close and feel her shaking .
The feeling of her fingers .
But oh , it went wrong .
In my life , I spendt too much time .
Looking for someone to be mine .
Not one of them said " I love you " .
Oh , it's been too long ....
Sometimes I wish that I had no heart for feeling .
She took a part of me that I will always lack .
Lonliness is a feeling from a dark world .
Where you wake up too late late to try and take it back ........








( Oooops , I forgot to put an authopr's note on this one so I will do so now .... Author's Note: This song was written in 1998 . Since then , I have had 3 wonderful women ( not just a physical relationship ) who truely loved me .
One was a pre-med. student who broke up with me because , she was not in love with me although she did love me ( yes , there a well defined difference ) .
Then there is this girl living in Louisianna who has always given me such unconditional love even though we can't be together and has always been there for me when I needed to blow some steam and have someone who will listen and hear every word I have to say .... Befor her was a woman who was Pima Indian . She and I did not work out because , she found out she was pregnant with her ex-boyfriends baby . She made her decision that it was best to go back to him and try to raise the child coming and the child they already had as a family unit .
None of it was sad , just the way that life goes . So since 1998 I have had 3 girlfriends that DID LOVE ME and , made sure I knew it . This is just an old song of mine that I ran across and felt it was good enough to post .... )
