Maria Daines ~ Can’t Do This Anymore

’Can’t Do This Anymore’ Can’t do this anymore Put down my shield, desert the war Gone all around and in through every out door Can’t do this anymore Fought too long and fought too hard Thought the pain would free my heart Called for strength, just one last roar Can’t do this anymore Tied a rope to hold me back Keep my fingers from the flames The truth ain’t much to ask for Can’t do this anymore Can’t do this anymore The little lights have all gone out One by one, we know the score Can’t do this anymore Your eyes are full of shadows Hiding lies fit for an encore Take a bow in all your splendour Can’t do this anymore Hold the first and keep the last All those moments, safely stored You’ll see what I won’t stand for Can’t do this anymore Can’t do this anymore Put down my shield, desert the war Gone all around and in through every out door Can’t do this anymore Can’t do this anymore Put down my shield, desert the war Gone all around and in through every out door Can’t do this anymore Can’t do this anymore Gone all around and in through every out door Can’t do this anymore... © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 6th February 2024 New CD album, Blue ~ Our thanks to the great photographers at Pixabay for their film clips and photographs and special thanks to Christoph Schutz for the beautiful heart lock picture.
