LyricsTOMMY(STEVE DAFOE 2006) (COPYRIGHTED) VERSE 1: BEFORE THE DAYS OF NOW AS POWERFUL IMAGES STILL REMAIN HE WAS BARELY A YOUNG MAN WHEN HIS HEART STOPPED IN THE DARK RAIN A BEACON OF HOPE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD CHORUS 1 : I STILL HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES AND PINCH MYSELF TO REALIZE THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE AND THAT YOU'RE REALLY GONE...... A LIFE SO BRIGHT, JUST A SHINING LIGHT, JUST A FRIEND TO ALL... YOU COULDN'T OVERCOME...YOU JUST COULDN'T WIN THIS FIGHT OH SO TOMMY....WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO? OH TOMMY...THAT WAS THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS........ VERSE 2: AS THE THUNDER ROLLED AROUND AND ON ANOTHER DAY OF FOG AND DARK RAIN GOD MAKES A CHOICE FOR HEAVEN AND OR HELL THE SILENCE OF THE PAIN AND SORROW ONLY BROKEN BY THE RINGING OF CHURCH BELLS CHORUS 2: OH OUR TOMMY TOMMY...WHY DO THE GOOD PEOPLE ALWAYS .... ALWAYS HAVE TO GO? YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND YOU BELIEVED MORE IN ME THAN I DID IN MYSELF....... OH SO TOMMY........WHERE ARE YOU KNOW? OH TOMMY........WHY THE FINAL BOW? VERSE 3: BACK THEN I COULD BARELY COMPREHEND LIFE LET ALONE THE MAGNITUDE OF DEATH... FOR HIM...NO FUTURE...NO DREAMS.....NO WIFE THE MEMORY OF THE HORROR MEANT TOMMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE..... ------------------------------------------ Reviews Hi! Love your song and your voice. Your voice is perfect for the genre with excellent pitch and dynamics. The lyric is quite good, also. - Double Trouble I really like the instrumentation and the vocal quality of this song. The lyrics are difficult to hear sometimes. Had to listen a couple of times to try and understand the theme. But I think it's about someone passing away and the feeling that someone close to them felt. I think the words could be arranged to tell the story clearer or in a more popular theme pattern. But I love the arrangement and the vocal production. - Nabii |
