Song of the Day

Give Me Strength
(unknown if this is the actual title or not)
~David Ford

The tide came in, it nearly buried us here
We saw things like they wouldn't believe
You hear a lot of stories about love and romance
But I swear nothing quite like you and me

And every scar sits like a marker
And every line on the face, it's a small souvenir
Of all the place be they good, or be they bad
We stopped into on the journey to here

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now

And there were times when you were right, I'll confess
I did things of which I am not proud
Everybody walks through the same coloured shit
But it doesn't drag everyone down

Maybe I was stupid, maybe I was insensitive
I was all the things I said I never would be
I've seen a lot of foolish behaviour in my time
But I tell you, they've got nothing on me

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now
Sing along if your heart's finished bleeding
Yeah I'm alright now
Give me strength, give me something to believe in
So I'm alright now

All the evenings of sublime self destruction
To the tune of a thousand cigarettes
Where every nail driven into your spirit
Wasn't able to sink you just yet

Television's just a weak anaesthetic
To numb the senses till you're out like a light
Like all the drugs that seem to promise you the earth
And then they don't keep you warm in the night

So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now
Give me strength, give me something to believe in
Yeah I'm alright now
Sing along if your heart's finished bleeding
So I'm alright now

I'm alright now
I'm alright

It's like I cannot sleep for dreaming
This is everything I ever hoped it could possibly be
A lot of stories end happily ever after
But I swear nothing quite like you and me
