SONG OF DEVASTATION - NUMBER 27

A man called Samuel from Grand Rapids in USA wrote a very sad, broken-hearted letter to my husband on The Red Hand Files and mentioned in it that Colin Hay’s song I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You was playing ‘non-stop’ in his head. My husband asked me to post the song on the Stuff Page saying, ‘It’s a beautiful song. Everyone should hear it.’ Thank you. Samuel, for giving us this lovely gift and my husband and I wish you the very best. Hang in there. Love Susie x

I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You

 

I drink good coffee every morning

It comes from a place that's far away

And when I'm done I feel like talking

Without you here there is less to say

Don't want you thinking I'm unhappy

What is closer to the truth

Is that if I lived till I was a hundred and two

I just don't think I'll ever get over you

I'm no longer moved to drink strong whiskey

I shook the hand of time and I knew

that if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs

I just don't think I'll ever get over you

Your face it dances and it haunts me

your laughter is still ringing in my ears

I still find pieces of your presence here

even after all these years

I don't want you thinking that i don't get asked to dinner

cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do

and even though I may seem to feel a touch of love/em>

I just don't think I'll ever get over you

If I live till I was a hundred and two

I just don't think I'll ever get over you
