Jamie Green: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Inspired by my year-long bout with Epstein-Barre. What if I never got better? Would I have regrets about the way I lived my life? Oh yes. By not giving love, life or faith a chance, I have committed the ultimate crime. Ultimately, the song is a cry for a second chance.

V1
I’ve been loved by precious men
Loved them back with fervent whim
Loved them ‘til I couldn’t stand that they loved me
Believed that they’d become fatigued
Believed I was not worthy

And now the moment has arrived for me to look way deep inside
Did I give love a try?
Well I’m not so sure
And that’s my crime

V2
I was blessed with many gifts
That I meant to use someday
That I meant to share, but threw them all away
Cause the gift I never opened
Was the gift of faith

And now the moment has arrived for me to look way deep inside
Did I give myself a try ?
Well I’m not so sure
And that’s my crime

V3
I lie in bed with a strange disorder
I’m not sure if I’ll live or die
I rack my brain to figure out the reason why
There must be some kind of lesson
I’m supposed to learn from this

And now the moment has arrived for me to look back on my life
Have I spent well the time?
Well I’m not so sure
And that’s my crime

And I don’t want to say good-bye…
