Michael Roe & Mark Harmon - Don't, This Way



The guitar on this is so achingly beautiful.
Imagine
All those years together
As a blackbird with no song to sing
Imagine
Throwing it to the air
But it falls from broken wings

Don't leave this way, so many words unsaid
Don't lie this way, stretched straight from
Feet to head

Imagine
The sky is pouring down
On the back of all those years
Imagine
That bird helpless on the ground
Shot down by all those tears

Don't leave this way, so many words unsaid
Don't lie this way, stretched straight from
Feet to head
Don't look this way, closed eyes, unmoving lips
Don't feel this way, cold hands and fingertips

Yeah to that guitar.

Cool, I like it - kinda Johnny Cash-like, with some fine touches.

But not achingly, but I like it nicely.

The problem is that his lyrics and singing and playing just made me throw up in your last post, Z.
