Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I've been longing for as long as I can remember
for something like this to go my way
and it always feels so right
and then you take it all away
tell me how will I fall in love like that again
when I'm still singing my way through tears in the pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights of ours together
see I thought I'd found a love I'd have forever
now I'm hiding myself
behind this shattered veil
and I know it's only me to blame
and I'm swimming through this ocean of grief
and I'm sailing up your way
tell me how will I fall in love like that again
I'm still swimming my way through tears in pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights of ours together
see I thought I'd found a love I'd have forever
yeah, yeah, yeah, and I…
and everything in this house
has something to give
but I can't escape
even though I try
photographs and memories
I never knew I had so many tears to cry
and I, yeah, and I
die, die, die
I never knew I had so many tears to cry
tell me how will I fall in love like that again
when I'm still singing my way through tears in the pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights of ours together
see I thought I'd found a love I'd have forever
for something like this to go my way
and it always feels so right
and then you take it all away
tell me how will I fall in love like that again
when I'm still singing my way through tears in the pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights of ours together
see I thought I'd found a love I'd have forever
now I'm hiding myself
behind this shattered veil
and I know it's only me to blame
and I'm swimming through this ocean of grief
and I'm sailing up your way
tell me how will I fall in love like that again
I'm still swimming my way through tears in pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights of ours together
see I thought I'd found a love I'd have forever
yeah, yeah, yeah, and I…
and everything in this house
has something to give
but I can't escape
even though I try
photographs and memories
I never knew I had so many tears to cry
and I, yeah, and I
die, die, die
I never knew I had so many tears to cry
tell me how will I fall in love like that again
when I'm still singing my way through tears in the pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights of ours together
see I thought I'd found a love I'd have forever

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
this song made me speechless the first time i heard it...because i was basically going through exactly what she's talking about
