When the Beach Is So Lonely and the Waves So Cold

When The Beach Is So Lonely And The Waves So Cold composed with ( Tribute Given To Bob Seger And His Music, especially so his beautiful song- "Against The Wind" ) And His song verse, from magnificent song "Against The Wind" "I wish I didn't know now, what I didnt know then." When The Beach Is So Lonely And The Waves So Cold I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then* as both she and this hateful world left me old and cold too oft a stranger to this earth and brotherhood of men so lost and defiant because of the lies she told. I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then* a broken prisoner in this sad and lonely abode wondering if life and pain is all there ever has been and why I once believed all those lies I was told! I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then* that my sorrows, my aches were imaginary cries just dream shadows flying in this dark and cavernous den and I could look at the heavens and not see her blue eyes! I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then* A lost soul weeping in this sad world of fallen men! R.J. Lindley, June 17th, 1980 Sonnet, ( So Sad And Lonely Each Morn When The Rooster Crows ) Old Note: Deleted... New Note: When composing Seger was stumped at one point. Needed a verse His great friend Glen Frye, offered to help and instantly gave him what he Seger called the greatest verse in the entire song, *I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then* credit given to both Bob Seger And Glen Frye for that verse which later became a verse that means so very much to me....

A beautiful sonnet with a wonderful lyric shared, Robert! I love Bob Seger and that is a great song..."I'm older now but still running against the wind" (lyrics I can relate to). Blessings, Rhonda xx
