Early Autumn Writing by Alan Ewing

 

Early Autumn Writing
by Alan Ewing




Je ne sais pas (I don't know)
 by Alan Ewing




I'll go my way 
You go yours
We both have a say
As we close the door

And so on I go
As she goes on too
Break-ups are just so
Could it have grown?
Who's to say?

Je ne sais pas
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know
What could have been
Je ne sais pas

Love's labour lost
Amongst the loss
Take the road 
At great cost

Take a way
Out of trouble's woes
Find another day
To rake over the coals

Je ne sais pas
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know
What could have been
Je ne sais pas

To the end of all days
Will be remembered ways
Such friends to see
Lest was not to be
In the days of glory
 Will be found the story
And discover
The ending
Of a love
That lies pending

Embers still flicker
In the fading fire
Love still a giver
In the form of desire

Come the raging storm
Is held a little flame
Solace becomes the norm
The candle flickers again

Je ne sais pas
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know
What could have been
Je ne sais pas


Let It Rain



Bring it on down
No more clowns
Please God
Let it rain
Let It rain
Let It rain

I don't believe
Hard to conceive
Please Lord
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain

Song of yesterday
As I now pray
My Messiah
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let It rain

A second chance
For such romance
Dear God
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain

Person to be
So close to me
Oh my Lord
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain

Love so lost
At great cost
Oh my Saviour
Let It rain
Let it rain
Let it rain

I give tears
Masks my fears
Oh Holy One
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let it rain
