I cannot get this song out of my mind and heart the past few days. Today it is especially PRESENT. So listening……and listening……..purging – omg am I purging. Crying. Releasing. Letting go – of relationships and attachments – so hard to do. Family stuff – who I miss so much. The whole cv drama – the lies the division and all of it – created so much pain – each making their own choice – but still all leading to this huge emptiness in my heart.
I miss my childhood – certain moments. I remember sitting at the breakfast counter one saturday evening with my brother. Our parents were out for the night. Just the two of us – listening to the radio – and this song came on – TIME. I always loved it – and rarely heard it – so I grabbed my tape recorder and recorded it – forever on tape. I used to think it was called The Tide – but then realized it was TIME. The song always felt important to me – and I’ve been really trying to remember those delightful moments of my youth when I was full of awe and wonder (when I wasn’t in hormonal puberty angst). The world how it is now – unrecognizable completely – I feel absolutely no attachment to any of it – just disdain – like an obnoxious sound and light I keep pushing away from me. Cannnot look at it – cannot be in OR of it. I hold no vision for the future as that feels like it’s being withheld – so I am getting that comfort – that unmet need – filled however I can as I mentioned last night. Anyway – here is the song. It feels very fitting for this moment. Other than that, I got nothing other than a longing emptiness. Love, V.
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river to the sea
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
(Goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friend
(Who knows when
We shall meet again)
The stars wait for me
Who knows where
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
Gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever now
Forevermore, forevermore
Thanks for this song. Hopefully it will replace Andy Gibb (8/18 finds) from playing over and over in my head! Hahaha…it won’t stop and feels like AI messing with me. Chin up! it’s surely TIME.
Had forgotten about that one. Thanks for sharing!
This was one of my mom’s favorite songs. She wanted me to sing it at her memorial but it was just too hard for me, so I played it in her honor instead. I haven’t listened to it since, which was 19 yrs ago, but I know the melody & words mostly by heart. Very poignant & special to me <3
oh – that is so beautiful – and touching to me. thank you so much for sharing something so private and special with me. i hope it brought you healing and comfort. hugs!
