What I’m Listening To, part 13
The way these posts work is, I’m going to post the lyrics with my thoughts in between the lines like this.
Billie Holiday – Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Please don’t go where I can’t follow. PLEASE.
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you
I want to be with you again. I NEED to be with you again. All of this is just too much to deal with alone.
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy is Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Would it really be so bad if I died? Do I even matter that much to you? To anyone?
Soon there’ll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
Let them not weep
Let them know that I’m glad to go
It’s ok. All the pain and suffering is over. Don’t be sad.
Death is no dream
For in death I’m caressin’ you
With the last breath of my soul
I’ll be blessin’ you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin’ you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
I really did want to be with you. I really did. I guess now I have to get used to being alone again.
