Last month in Detroit, I heard a Moody Blues song from the 1970s, and I remembered how I had always liked the middle part of the song better than the beginning and the end of the song, and so I thought I would record a new version with just the parts that I liked. Let me know in the comments if you feel the same way 🙂
It’s not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It’s more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won’t believe it’s true
That all the love you’ve been giving
Has all been meant for you
I’m looking for someone to change my life
I’m looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it’s done to me
Lose the the love I knew, could safely lead me through
Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And it’s waiting there for me*
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose
I’m looking for someone to change my life
I’m looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it’s done to me
To lose the love I knew, could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
To learn as we grow old the secrets of our souls
*I could never bring myself to refer to land as ‘she’ as the original song does
