It has been a while since I have writen any lyrics and i have taken a new a very systematic approach to these words.
I appreciate that without music it is always difficult to get a full understanding. The'Bridge' written does not scan well at all; but it does work as it builds the dyamics. Bad grammer 'done' is intetional.
I am just after response to the words at this point and would really appreciate any thoughts.
Cheers Burt
You don't know when
1
Live like a hostage released
Love like a soldier on leave
Hope until you believe
Go after you make your peace
Ch
Because you don’t know when, you don’t know when,
No you don’t know when you’ll get the chance again
You know someone, family or friend
Something undone too many things unsaid
Because you don’t know when, you don’t know when
2
Dream like a child left to play
Heal like a mother’s embrace
Laugh then laugh again
Forgive till there’s no one to blame
Ch
Bridge
Met an old man on a long train ride, saw the wisdom in his eyes
As he told me the stories of his life
He said “I’ve been a 9 to 5 family man, a cowboy, a gambler on the slides I slid
But I don’t regret a thing I done, only the things I never did”
He said . . . “you don’t know when, you don’t know when
No you don’t know when, you don’t know when”
