'Cos tonight the wind (2) is blowing/blows
And the sea (3) is running/runing high All you troubles little darling Let them drift with the tide There's a full moon above us That (4) is shining/is sinning out so bright Why worry about tomorrow? You're young and you (5) are travelling/travel light Come on sailor Put in a quarter in that thing again It don't matter If it's always the same Hold me closer You and I may never meet again Maybe somewhere Down old memory lane...

THE NEW SONG LESSON
This time, unfortunately, it is a MOURNING rather than a morning song.
David Bowie - a man of many faces, an aritst with limitless means of expression, a soul constantly searchig - left earlier this week.
Here is a song of his, a song about the neverending quest for the truthful self.
No language questions this time - the question is already there, in the simplicity of language.
Keep on, Mr Bowie!
The Man Who Sold The World"
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

From GENIUS.com:
“…When asked
about the meaning of the song, Bowie commented:
I guess I wrote it because there was a part of myself that I was
looking for. Maybe now that I feel more comfortable with the way that I live
my life and my mental state (laughs) and my spiritual state whatever, maybe I
feel there’s some kind of unity now. That song for me always exemplified kind
of how you feel when you’re young, when you know that there’s a piece of
yourself that you haven’t really put together yet. You have this great
searching, this great need to find out who you really are."
