Topic: Love That's Lost

   Lost love Jim Kenyon


[Em]I’m walking the roads I [A]know many men have gone [Em]down [Em]


[Em]I'm in a sea of confusion and it [A]looks like I might [Em]drown[Em]


[A]my mind’s still yearning, but myheart is burning like [Em]Rome [Em]


And [B7] now it seems I’m so [A] lost, with no direction [Em] home



Chorus


[A]vacant eyes and empty hearts


[E] though I can't say who's to blame


[A] with bitterness slowly creeping in,


ain't [B7] nothing ever gonna feel the same


[A]we've lost the hunger in our souls


[E]and all our blessings have had a cost


[A]with tempers hot and sheets so cold


[B7]it sure looks like this [A]love is [E] lost




[Em]old footprints everywhere in my[A] head and all around our [Em]home,[Em]


[Em]each one with a memory, re[A]sembling tarnished [Em]chrome[Em]


[A] goods times are gone, and they ain't coming round[Em]again[Em]


those[B7] years of comfort and [A] love have turned into[E] pain




Chorus


[A]vacant eyes and empty hearts


[E] though I can't say who's to blame


[A] with bitterness slowly creeping in,


ain't [B7] nothing ever gonna feel the same



[A]we've lost the hunger in our souls


[E]and all our blessings have had a cost


[A]with tempers hot and sheets so cold


[B7]it sure looks like this [A]love is [E] lost




[Em]pleasures of the night have faded,[A]our tender moments are [Em] gone[Em]


[Em] love got lost between the [A] darkness and the[Em] dawn.[Em]


[A] those goodbyes with cryin’ eyes,havemade my heart so [Em]sad [Em]


Oh[B7] come find me baby, and [A]remind me of what we once[E] had





Chorus


Chorus


[A]vacant eyes and empty hearts


[E] though I can't say who's to blame


[A] with bitterness slowly creeping in,


ain't [B7] nothing ever gonna feel the same


[A]we've lost the hunger in our souls


[E]and all our blessings have had a cost


[A]with tempers hot and sheets so cold


[B7]it sure looks like this [A]love is [E] lost


[B7]it sure looks like this [A]love is [E] lost


[B7]it sure looks like this [A]love is [E] lost

Re: Love That's Lost

This song is massive, and sad. Well written and anyone who can read  must feel your emotion. 

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

Re: Love That's Lost

Another beautiful song, TIG ... one never knows what can happen in a relationship, except that everyone shares the pain when it goes wrong. You've captured all of that so very well. 

Re: Love That's Lost

One of the most natural and prolific songwriters I know. If I didn't know better, I'd say Jim's a medium of some kind.

Or an Extra-Large, at least. smile

Re: Love That's Lost

JIm,

is this happening presently as mine is?  Your song hits me right in the chest, if you have seen what I have been submitting, you have a brother with whom to share your pain.  i could have written this song as it deals as just the same.

Thank you for a beautiful song and I would love to hear you sing it.

Re: Love That's Lost

Great one Jim, I went through this at age 27 and divorced a year later, all the emotions are there and still sting yet I'm so glad I got out of there and found my Ann, 37 years and counting. We argue...yes. we have tantrums...yes! But we also have a beautiful love and friendship. You have such a talent. 

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Wow, JIm your writing is brilliant once again, very heart felt.

Re: Love That's Lost

Thank you all for you kind words .

Beamer - no ,  thankfully my wife and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary
Like Phill said there have been arguments and times where it was hard, but we always find a way to mend .
I actually wrote this after reading all your great posts, but I couldn't bring myself to comment- so I wrote about what I was reading, at least how I was interpreting it.

Bill- you crack me up - you have such wit! 

Thanks again all

Jim

Re: Love That's Lost

For a long time, Jim, I didn't have that wit. Now I'm cautiously optimistic that mine and Dondra's lives are settling down a bit, and feel like I can smile and try to be a little more jovial.

But seriously, you do seem to have a deep insight into what's going on in your life and in your friends' and I hope you never lose that. Many's the time I've read your words and said to myself, "Yeah! That's exactly the way I feel!"

Keep writing them, my brotha! smile

Your Friend
