In 1975, when this song first aired, it stopped me in my tracks.
I rushed out and bought it, playing it over and over and over .... and over
never tiring of the haunting melody and heart stopping words ...
Even now it guts me and restores me .. at the same time.
from Tom Middleton .... I Think I Need A Harbour For My Soul
Little by little I’ve been dying.
The lights have gone dim and the curtain’s closed.
I’m so damned tired of trying to find the answers.
And I don’t feel like searching anymore.
You’re all I really care about my baby.
To lose you would close the final door.
Ooh there’s so much love locked deep inside of me.
Like a ship at sea, well I’ve lost sight of the shore.
And I don’t want to spend my nights alone.
And you’re the only one I know that I can rely on.
Like a little lost child I need your shoulder to cry on.
I think I need a harbour for my soul.
Ah, deep down inside me I’ve been cryin’
Trying to understand this life I lead
I’m so damned tired of trying to find the answers
When my soul keeps shouting “you’ve got all that you need”.
And I don’t want to spend my nights alone .
And you’re the only one I know that I can rely on.
Like a little lost child I need your shoulder to cry on.
I think I need a harbour for my soul.
be patient ... am STILL trying to set up the dang link ..... grrrrrrrr!!
