TWO FOR TUESDAY

Link: [Don Henley]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

The Boys of Summer

Don Henley

Nobody on the road

Nobody on the beach

I feel it in the air

The summer’s out of reach

Empty lake

Empty streets

The sun goes down alone

I’m drivin’ by your house

Though I know

You’re not home

I can see you

Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun

You got your hair combed back

And your sunglasses on baby

And I can tell you

My love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights

I wonder if it was a dream

Remember how you made me crazy

Remember how I made you scream

Now I don’t understand

What’s happened to our love

But babe I’m gonna get you back

I’m gonna show you what I’m made of

I can see you

Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun

I see you walkin’ real slow

And smilin’ at everyone

I can tell you

My love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today

I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

A little voice inside my head said

Don’t look back

You can never look back

I thought I know what love was

What did I know

Those days are gone forever

I should just let them go but

I can see you

Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun

You got that top pulled down

And that radio on baby

And I can tell you

My love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you

Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun

You got that hair slicked back

And those wayfarers on baby

I can tell you

My love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

The Heart of the Matter

Don Henley

I got the call today

I didn’t want to hear

But I knew that it would come

An old true friend of ours

Was talkin’ on the phone

She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me

And you lost you

What are these voices

Outside love’s open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more

I’m learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

The more I know

The less I understand

All the things I thought I knew

I’m learning again

I’ve been tryin’ to get down

To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it’s about

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if

Even if

You don’t love me anymore

Now these times are so uncertain

There’s a yearning undefined

And people filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive

In such a graceless age

Ah the trust and self-assurance

That leads to happiness

They’re the very things

We kill I guess

Ah pride and competition

Cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us

You know it doesn’t keep me warm

I’m learning to live without you now

But I miss you baby

The more I know

The less I understand

All the things I thought I figured out

I have to learn again

I’ve been tryin’ to get down

To the heart of the matter

But everything changes

And my brain seems to scatter

But I think it’s about

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if

Even if

You don’t love me anymore

There are people in your life

Who’ve come and gone

They let you down

You know they hurt your pride

You’d better put it all behind you baby

‘Cause life goes on

You keep carryin’ that anger

It’ll eat you up inside baby

I’ve been tryin’ to get down

To the heart of the matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it’s about

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if

Even if

You don’t love me

I’ve been tryin’ to get down

To the heart of the matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So I’m thinkin’ about

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if

Even if

You don’t love me

Forgiveness

Hey

Forgiveness

Baby

Forgiveness

Oh

Forgiveness

Hey hey

Forgiveness

Oh

Forgiveness

Even if

You don’t love me anymore

Forgiveness

Oh

Forgiveness

Oh
