I don't know if you know the singer/songwriter Sting. Do you? I'm guessing you would have heard of him at least once. This is one of his songs. I don't listen to his songs very often, but when I do, I repeat it over and over again because it is so good. Here is one that you might try reading. His lyrics are powerful and poetic, characteristics which is not as evident in the songs of today.
Why Should I Cry For You - Sting
Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the Stones of Faroe
Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,
What would be true?
Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
That, "I loved you in my fashion"?
What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Do you think you can relate to this song? Personally, I find it not very easy to understand. What do you think he is trying to say?
