I tried really hard to find a Halloween song that was NOT overdone.
Then again, that would not have been the song I was listening to... so today I throw back to a song that has followed me through some more difficult times. I have been the speaker in this song, and I have been the subject. Most recently, I bought a compass that I had engraved, "Would north be true?" It sits in my desk drawer now. The recipient would never have gotten the reference and to be honest, I am all focused on tomorrow and the results. Plus exile doesn't work if you reach, and I think now that would be reaching. Enough babble here are your lyrics and the video.
Why Should I Cry for You
Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, northwest, the stones of faroe
Under the artic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?
All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining
Would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over the 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
I loved you in my fashion?
What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry?
Why should I cry?
Songwriters: Gordon Matthew Sumner.
