Grandpa, I love this song. "She said she missed her home; I headed off alone."
This song played at the end of the movie Mask - which made me cry my eyes out. On a date, back in 1985.
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
"Why" The awesome Ms Annie Lennox

Boy, if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
Before you fight for us
You gotta show me that you can
So when the lights go dark
I wanna know you understand
That if you want my heart
You gotta take it like a man
"Take It Like A Man" by Cher

You know you can't hold me forever

I'm not a present for your friends to open

This boy's too young to be singing the blues
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright
I used to be angry a man,
Me hiding me head in the sand,
You gave me the word, I finally heard,
I'm doing the best that I can
Me hiding me head in the sand,
You gave me the word, I finally heard,
I'm doing the best that I can
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
(Nothing Else Matters - Metallica)

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always
Stevie Wonder - As

Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too
Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns, and Money

Songs of life, they ring
From quiet steeples to distant valleys
Along the hillsides of lovers' hearts, of lovers' hearts
Come sing your songs of life
And they will keep you
From ever wanting, from ever needing
For ever more, for ever more
Oh, and when the moment's true
It sings so softly to me and you,
You know they do, you know they do
So I'll sing my songs of life
That I will hold you inside forever
And you will know me
And I'll be yours and you'll be mine
(Songs of Life - Neil Diamond)

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this
And he took little Suzie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

May I offer something without sounding challenging? The original song was by Warren Zevon. It was pathetic and funny. One verse ended with, "I don't wanna talk about it."

Anyway, just based on things happening in life at the moment:
"And there's so much time to make up everywhere you turn. Time we have wasted on the way. So much water moving underneath the bridge. Let the water come and carry us away."
Crosby, Stills, and Nash - "Wasted on the Way."

"You will find other kind that has been in search of you, many lives have brought you to. Recognize, it's your life now in review. And as you stay for the play fantasy has in store for you, a glowing light will see you through. It's your day, shining day - all your dreams come true. As you glide in your stride with the wind as you fly away, give a smile from your lips and say, "I am free; yes, I'm free. Now I'm on my way."
Earth Wind & Fire - "Fantasy"
Thanks Grandpa -
I didn't know that, but, now that you mention it, I think I this earlier in this thread (?) - but I had to post Linda's rendition because it's from the female perspective
I love both the songs you posted. Especially EWF. I love them!
