Breakin Me
Jonny Lang

Every day I see your face I wish I'd stayed
Don't even know what made me run away
It's just the way I play the game

Emotional is not a word I'd use to explain myself
But now I'm down upon my knees
Baby please take me back

I don't want to be in love but you're makin' me
Let me up I've had enough. Girl you're breakin' me

Here I am just half a man standing alone
Feeling like I lost my only chance
At happiness when I let you go

I don't want to be alone thinkin' bout you girl
I got nothin' left to hold in this lonely world



The first time my heart was ever touched
Was the day I lost your love
I can feel it in my flesh and blood
My soul can only take it so much

So there it is. Why can't you give us one more try
You and I could find a way to live
If you let me in one more time

I know you lost your faith in me but I still believe
Can I make you understand, can I make you see
That I'm desperate for your love and it's breakin' me

It's breakin' me

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
preferably by Eva Cassidy

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Nice to see lots of responses to this after getting up this morning. I went straight to bed after posting it last night.

I agree with the song you quoted Siren (Somewhere Over the Rainbow). Eva Cassidy's version is 10 times sader than other versions I've heard!

Jealous Guy the Bryan Ferry version


and


Dicen que por las noches
They say that at night

no más se le iba en puro llorar;
All he did was cry

dicen que no comía,
They said he never eat

no más se le iba en puro tomar.
All she did was take from him

Juran que el mismo cielo
They swear that the sky itself

se estremecía al oír su llanto,
shook when hearing his cries

cómo sufrió por ella,
How he suffered for her

y hasta en su muerte la fue llamando:
and till his death she carried shouting for him


Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay he was sing

ay, ay, ay, ay, ay gemía,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay he was moaning

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay cantaba,
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay he was singing

de pasión mortal moría.
of mortal love he died

Que una paloma triste
Then a sad dove

muy de mañana le va a cantar
early in the morning it is going to sing

a la casita sola
to the lonely small house

con sus puertitas de par en par;
withs its door open wide

juran que esa paloma
They swear this dove

no es otra cosa más que su alma,
is nothing else but his soul

que todavía espera
that still hopes
a que regrese la desdichada.
the unfortunate one will return

Cucurrucucú paloma, cucurrucucú no llores.
co co co co co dove, co co co co co don’t cry

Las piedras jamás, paloma,
The stones never, dove

¿qué van a saber de amores?
What will they know of love?

Cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú,
co co co co co, co co co co co

cucurrucucú, cucurrucucú,
co co co co co, co co co co co

cucurrucucú, paloma, ya no le llores
co co co co co, dove, cry no more for him
THIS SONG IS IN SPANISH BUT THE TRASLATIONS ARE UNDER EACH LINE
