When the Love Dies

WHEN THE LOVE DIES When the love dies… When the love dies, and you feel buried alive You discover, hidden secrets... Then two souls collide! Enigmas and mysteries, like history unwinds Raw emotions spill right out of your soul… There is the fury… there is a fire It will burn you if you lose all control Chorus You know that it’s a sad day, When you give up trying to keep it alive…. Since the bonds have broken, You’re shackled to the moment When the love dies! When the love’s gone, When the love’s gone and you’re alone in the dark Do you ever wonder where it goes to, When it’s lost the spark? When the questions go unanswered And you’re still on your own And you contemplate the purpose of life Emptiness fills you… You still feel the fire… As it burns a hole right into your soul Chorus You know that it’s a sad day, When you give up trying to keep it alive…. Since the bonds have broken, You’re shackled to the moment When the love dies! Emptiness fills you… You still feel the fire… As it burns a hole right into your soul Chorus You know that it’s a sad day, When you give up trying to keep it alive…. Since the bonds have broken, You’re shackled to the moment When the love dies! You’re shackled to the moment When the love dies! John Derek Hamilton August 30,2018

One day I hope to hear a song like one with these lyrics actually sung for us! There was someone recording his poems as songs but I can't recall his name. I imagine you play various instruments and sing as well, John? That would make you multi talented!
