Just listen to the song. It is so beautifully written. I could listen to it on repeat. As a matter of fact, I am right now!
This song came to me again while listening for a first dance song for my upcoming wedding. I need the perfect song that represents how I feel about my future husband; a challenging task for a music lover like me.
“Is love so fragile
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words
Impossible to follow
You’re saying I’m fragile I try not to be
I search only for something I can’t see
I have my own life and I am stronger than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won’t be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won’t be walking out the door
Lovers forever face to face; My city your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me my lace”
I am independent. I always wanted to start my career before I settled down and I wasn’t looking for love. Well, when a man they call “Rooster” came along, there was no denying it; he was the one. I suddenly wanted to share my life with someone and grow with him. This song spoke to me saying “this give and take isn’t so bad”. Plus, I knew from the 2nd week of dating that I was going to marry him so the line “But I carry this feeling when you walked into my house that you won’t be walking out the door” is very accurate.
So babe, this one is for you. I love you, Roo!
