Oil contaminating the Gulf and the shoreline
Dead wildlife is not hard to find
Boom here and boom there
Boom floating everywhere
Life will never be the same
A sad situation and BP is the blame
A loss of culture and a way of life
A sad way for wildlife to die
It's a sad southern summer here
The people have many fears
The road to recovery is very long
Help us God to stand strong
Im sad because i never knew you , im sad because i did.
what would be if you where here? would you hold my hand?
You are wise
you are...
Beautiful
deep
thought-full
your everything i could want but just out of reach.
Gone with out warning. left with a hole you put in me.
- maybe i was just meant to be alone
It's sad to say
that seduction has taken over
Blinded by the man
and constantly getting messed over
small footsteps of grief
and unfolded memories of pain
She began to weap
for that new love
who bought her constant pain
With suicidle thoughts
that crossed her mind
Her eyes still in tac
While thinking shes blind
It's sad to say
that seduction has taken over
Blinded by the dark
she seem to have lost her way
Touched by a system
of ordinary single flames
She then pointed the finger
knowing she was the one to blame
Reactions of lust
and unfamiliar faces
Unwanted feelings
that touched her many places
It's sad to say
that seduction has taked over
Fingerprints of hickeys
and french kisses denied
She begun to realize that
she something she needed to decide
Faults of truth
and lies of good faith
Confused and misused
is what she had on her plate
Oh yes, nevertheless
seduction has taken over
I don't want to be sad anymore
I want to laugh and play
with my kids
on a beautiful summer's day.
But just so you know,
I still miss your call at 8:10.
I still miss coffee with my friend.
I even buy you a milky way
Every now and then.
And when I do
or say something wrong.
I still hear your voice
loud and strong.
The tears are few now
My memories clear
It's been a while
Sometimes, I even smile.
I think you would understand
I don't want to be sad anymore
DAD
You taught me that.
