\nLOVE SONG<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Middlesbrough 1981<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nClose your eyes and let them rest now<\/span><\/div>\n
\nDark days they will go past<\/span><\/div>\n
\nClose your eyes and let them rest now<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOh the shadows they won\u2019t last.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen you feel the tears swelling<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd they\u2019re not the tears of pain<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd your lips begin to quiver<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd it\u2019s not with fear or strain.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen it\u2019s hearts that speak not tongues<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIn a language queer to pens<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen its souls that think not minds<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWith a logic that transcends<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nBRIDGE<\/span><\/div>\n
\nIt\u2019s love yes its love<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nIt\u2019s love yes it\u2019s love<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
\nIt\u2019s love and love has got to you..oo<\/i> (Repeat)<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTake my hand and let me hold you<\/span><\/div>\n
\nClose as flesh can get<\/span><\/div>\n
\nTake my soul and let me show you<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThat sacred place within<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nWhen flesh has done what flesh must do<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd our hearts they are at peace<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd we lay in sweet contentment<\/span><\/div>\n
\nAs if the troubled world had ceased.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTo coda \u2013 as in bridge.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n……….<\/span>
\nThis began as blues riff but became something more melodic with guitarist Steve Gillgallon. An acoustic version here and an attempted synth version but without the vocals. Appeared as a poem in my 2nd poetry chapbook – Poet Reprobate 1985.<\/span><\/p>\n
