IT'S TIME TO GET DOWN
TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER...
Your friend Lockie has been going through a time of transition.
One that has not been kind to my emotional or mental well being in fact.
It seems as though the era of Lockie and Homer has come to an end.
At least according to Homer he has had enough of my being ... umm... what he has turned me into!
Yeah I made a joke.. but this is truly one of the hardest things I have had to face in a long time.
Another turning point.. another page torn out and rewritten again in my lifetime.
It would seem I am once again facing a new beginning in the middle of the old beginnings ending.
I have always been able to find a song to express my deepest hearts torment and this time is no different.
When I am able to find the words to my life story, in another persons poetry of their sorrow or joy.. it gives me courage to know I am not the first nor will I be the last to face these same problems, and walk on through them.
Always hopefully to a better day, in Gods' Perfect Plan.
Without kicking up too big a fuss anyway..
The major problem right now is Homer can't seem to make a full commitment to either going, or staying and trying to figure out the problem..
and I just can't handle this kind of torment any longer..
so this is for my Gary from your Terri..
I do love you.. and you love me..
maybe it is all about ..
forgiveness ..
even if we don't love each other any more..
or if we do..
it is all about forgiveness..
It's Time To Get Down To The Heart of The Matter
Don Henley
I got the call today
That I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old, true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you'd found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things - we kill I guess
Pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out have to learn again
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on
You keep carrying that anger; it'll eat you up inside, baby
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thought seem to scatter
But I think its about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
Ive been trying to get down
To the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinking about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me
Forgiveness
Forgiveness - baby
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, you don't love me anymore
